Answer:

α = 3.5 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

α = 2*Area/r^2

α = 2*16 in^2/(3in)^2

α = 3.5555 radians

The measure of the central angle in radian is 1.13π rad

The formula for calculating the area of a sector is expressed as:

A = θ/360 * area of a circle

Given the following parameter;

A = 16in^2

r = 3in

Substitute the parameter into the formula:

16 = θ/360 * 3.14(3)²

16 =  θ/360 * 28.26

28.26 θ = 5760

θ = 5760/28.26

θ = 203.82

Hence the measure of the central angle in radian is 1.13π rad
