Answer:
[tex]\textsf{C.} \quad \dfrac{64 \pi}{3} \: \sf square\:centimeters[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
[tex]\textsf{Area of a sector of a circle}=\left(\dfrac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\right) \pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{(where r is the radius and the angle }\theta \textsf{ is measured in degrees)}[/tex]
Given:
- [tex]\theta[/tex] = 120°
- r = 8 cm
Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for Area:
[tex]\large \begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Area} & =\left(\dfrac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\right) \pi (8)^2\\\\& =\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right) \pi (64)\\\\& =\dfrac{64}{3} \pi \: \sf cm^2\end{aligned}[/tex]
