amistre64 · Answer

a full circle has a central angle of 2pi

pi/6 = 2pi/12

so you have 1/12 of the full area

Thats Not One Of My Answer Choices :/

amistre64 · Answer

what is the area of you entire circle?

anonymous · Answer

π over 6

amistre64 · Answer

pi/6 is not the area of your circle, that is the measure of the central angle that they are trying to determine

anonymous · Answer

The question doesnt say the area & theres no picture or diagram

amistre64 · Answer

the question states:  "A circle has an area of 36π in2. ...."

so what is the area of the circle?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know . i dont know how to do any of this stuff . i dont kno anything about areas, tangents, etc  nothing ,

amistre64 · Answer

at the moment, this has nothing to do with math; it is simply reading comprehension.

If you are not able to even read the question correctly, then there is reallyno hope of being able to deduce a suitable answer for it.

anonymous · Answer

Okayy . The area of the circle is 3636π in2 right ?

amistre64 · Answer

36 pi ; yes

and we want 1/12 of that for the sector

what is 36/12?

anonymous · Answer

3

amistre64 · Answer

very good; 

therefore we can say that the area of the sector is 3pi in2, which is one of the options
