    The arc measurement of the sector is 216°.

    Therefore the area of the sector is 216/360 = 0.6 of the area of the entire circle.

    Let r = the radius of the circle.

    Then the area of the circle is πr².

    Therefore the area of the sector is

    0.6*πr²

    Because the area of the sector is 15π cm², therefore

    0.6πr² = 15π

    r² = 15/0.6 = 25

    r = 5 cm

    Answer: 5 cm
