The length of an arc of a circle is 66 and the radius is 6, then the area of the sector is ____.

A

56.67 cm²

B

66 cm²

C

113.14 cm²

D

198 cm²

Answer

198 cm²

Explanation

Solution

The area of a sector can be calculated directly using the formula A=12LrA = \frac{1}{2}Lr, where LL is the arc length and rr is the radius. Given L=66L=66 and r=6r=6, substitute these values into the formula: A=12×66×6=33×6=198A = \frac{1}{2} \times 66 \times 6 = 33 \times 6 = 198. Therefore, the area of the sector is 198 cm².
