Answer :

To find:

The area of a sector.

Solution:

It is known that the area of a sector is given by:

[tex]A=\frac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2[/tex]

Here, the angle is 45 and the radius is 16 mi. So, the area of the sector is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{45}{360}\times\pi(16)^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{8}\times256\pi \\ A=32\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the area of the sector is 32pi mi^2.

THus, option A is correct.
