A circle with radius 6 has a sector with a central angle of 48º. What is the area of the sector?
First, find the area of the circle using: Area = pi · r2
Since there are 360o in a circle but you only want a sector of size 48o,
multiply the answer that you got for the area of the circle by the fraction (48/360).
Area of the sector: A = [ (r² * pi) / 360 ] * 48
