Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's write the following formula for calculate the area of a rectangle:
Where is the lenght (the longer side) and
is the width (the shorter side).
2. You know that the length is 2.5 times as long as the other side, which indicates a multiplication. Then:
3. So, you must substitute into the equation for calculate the area of the rectangle and then you must simplify.
4. Then, you obtain the following expression:
Since the area of a circle is π
, and our radius is 9 we know the total area to be 254.469, and the ratio of sector area to total area is 169.56/254.469 = .6663. There are 360 degrees in a circle, so: 
≈ 240°
240 degrees
240 degrees
