What is the area of the sector shown in the diagram below?

Answer:
Option A is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given radius of the circle, r = 8 cm
Central Angle of the shaded Sector, [tex]\theta[/tex] = 40°
Area of Sector is given by the following formula,
[tex]Area\:of\:Sector=\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times\pi r^2[/tex]
Putting given values we get,
Area of Sector = [tex]\frac{40}{360}\times\pi(8)^2[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{9}\times3.14\times64[/tex]
= [tex]22.3\:cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, Option A is correct.
