Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A \approx 3.3 \ in^2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the central angle in degrees, we should use the following formula for sector area.

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

The angle is 42 degrees and the radius is 3 inches. Therefore,

[tex]\theta= 42 \\r=3 \ in[/tex]

[tex]A=\frac {42}{360} * \pi (3 \ in)^2[/tex]

Solve the exponent.

  • (3 in)²= 3 in*3in = 9 in²

[tex]A=\frac {42}{360} * \pi (9 \ in^2)[/tex]

Multiply all three numbers together.

[tex]A= 0.116666666667* 3.14159265359 * 9 \ in^2[/tex]

[tex]A=3.29867228627 \ in^2[/tex]

Let's round to the tenth place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.

[tex]A \approx 3.3 \ in^2[/tex]

The area of the sector is approximately 3.3 square inches.
