If you were trying to get the area of a whole circle, you would use
Area = pi r^2
You have to modify the formula to show that just part of the circle has an area that you are interested in.
The new formula is
Area = (theta/360) pi r^2
Givens
r = 30 cm
theta = 100
Solution
Area = (100 / 360) * pi * r^2 Substitute the givens into this formula
Area = (5 / 18) * pi * 3^2 Expand
Area = (5 / 18) * pi * 9 Cancel 9 into 18
Area = 5/2 * pi
Area = 2.5 * pi
