Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

[tex]\frac{Area\ of\ sector}{Area\ of\ circle}=\frac{n}{360\°}[/tex]

Where "n" is the Central angle measured in degrees.

In this case, let be:

[tex]Area\ of\ sector=A_s\\Area\ of\ Circle=A_c[/tex]

Rewriting the formula:

[tex]\frac{A_s}{A_c}=\frac{n}{360\°}[/tex]

Now, you need to solve for [tex]A_c[/tex]:

[tex]A_s=(\frac{n}{360\°})(A_c)\\\\A_c=(A_s)(\frac{360\°}{n})[/tex]

Given the data shown in the picture attached, you can identify that:

[tex]A=A_s=6\pi \ in^2\\\\n=40\°[/tex]

Then, you can substitute these values into the equation (Use [tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]):

[tex]A_c=(6*3.14\ in^2)(\frac{360\°}{40\°})\\\\A_c=169.56\ in^2\\\\A_c\approx170\ in^2[/tex]

Therefore, the entire mirror will cover [tex]170\ in^2[/tex]
