Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a circle is
pi×r²
that is for the whole circle, which is the same as 360 degree arc.
now that we have only 254 out of the total of 360 degrees, the sector area is
pi×r² × 254/360
pi×9² × 254/360 = pi×9 × 254/40 = pi×57.15 =
= 179.5420202... cm²
rounding to 1/10 is 180.0 cm².
so, it is actually D - none of the above.
