What are the steps to take to solve this?

The shaded sector is  60 degrees out of the ENTIRE circle's 360 degrees

 

Find the area of the ENTIRE circle by using   Area = pi r2

     then multiply by   60 / 360   to get the answer in ft2

I don't understand. after I find the radius and divide 60/360 what do I do next? subtract it or something?

Find the area  of the circle =   pi * radius^2    =  pi * 30^2  =  900 pi  ft^2

 

Since  the  60 degree sector  is 1/6   of   360 degrees.....the   sector's area  =   900 pi / 6   = 

 

150 pi  ft^2

 

cool cool cool

There are 360 degrees in a whole circle, you have 60 degrees.  SO you have   \(\frac{60}{360}\)   of a circel

 

The area of a whole cirlce is  \(A=\pi r^2\)

 

If this was the whole circle the area would be    \(\pi* 30^2 = 900\pi \;feet\;squared\)

 

SO the area of just the sector will be     \(\frac{60}{360}*\pi*900 \;\;feet squared\)

 

and you can do the calculation.
