The circle below has a diameter of 12 centimeters. What is the approximate area of the shaded sector?

Answer:
D 97 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the circle is
A = pi * r^2
We need to convert diameter to r
d =2r
d/2 =r
12/2=r
6 =6
The radius is 6
A= pi *6^2
A = 36 *(3.14)
A = 113.04 cm^2
Now the fraction of the circle that is shaded is 301degrees out of 360
(A circle is 360 degrees)
310/360 * area of a circle
310/360 * 113.04
97.34
