I think it's B.

Directrix (directrix):

I marked the diagram.

Directrix (directrix):

The first thing to do is to find what part of the circle the sector represents. A sector is bounded by two radii of the circle together with the arc of its central angle.

Directrix (directrix):

30 degree sector and 360 degrees in the circle. So, what does 30/360 simplify to?

Directrix (directrix):

Leave it as a fraction after you simplify.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/12

Directrix (directrix):

Good. Now, we need to get another part ready. The sector is 1/12 of the circle. We need the area of the circle. So what is the area of a circle with radius 15. No decimals and leave answer in terms of pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it 225?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or wait..no It would be 30?

Directrix (directrix):

yes, but don't forget the pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so 225pi.

Directrix (directrix):

30 --> you're thinking circumference.
