A circle has a radius of 3.5cm. A sector of the circle has a central angle of 5π/6 radians. Find the area of the sector. Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Data:

r= 3.5cm

α= 5π/6

To find the area of a sector in a circle you can use the next formula:

[tex]A_s=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot\frac{\alpha}{2\cdot\pi}[/tex]Then, the area of the given sector is: 16 square centimeters[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\pi\cdot(3.5\operatorname{cm})^2\cdot\frac{\frac{5\pi}{6}}{2\cdot\pi} \\ \\ A=12.25\pi\cdot cm^2\cdot\frac{5\cdot\pi}{12\cdot\pi} \\ \\ A=\frac{61.25\pi cm^2}{12}\approx16.0\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
