    Area of a circle can be calculated using the following formula

    Area = πr²

    where π = 3.14 and r - radius of circle

    Area of the whole circle is for a central angle of 360°.

    We are asked to find the area of a sector. Sector is when 2 arms enclose a central angle by which one arm has rotated.

    1 radian = 57.3°

    2.4 radian = 57.3 x 2 = 137.52°

    Area for 360° = πr²

    area for 137.52° = πr² / 360° x 137.52 = π x 6 cm x 6 cm x 0.382 = 13.752 cm²
