What is the approximate area of the shaded sector in the circle shown below?

Answer:
Correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the radius of circle and the angle in sector we have to find the area of shaded region i.e minor sector.
[tex]Radius=r=16 in.[/tex]
[tex]Angle=\theta=110^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]Area of sector=}\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{110}{360}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(16)^2[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{11}{36}\times \frac{22}{7}\times 16\times 16=245.841=246(approx.)[/tex]
∴ Area of sector is [tex]246in^2[/tex]
Correct option is B.
