Tiffany Acevedo · Answer 1

We can solve for the area of the sector using the formula [ A = 1/2 * r² * θ]. Note that θ equals the measure for the central angle which 3π/4

A = 1/2 * 16² * 3π/4

A = 1/2 * 256 * 3π/4

A = 128 * 3π/4

A = 3π128/4

A = 384π/4

A = 96π

Best of Luck!

Quinn · Answer 2

96pi units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of sector = ½ * r² * theta

½ * 16² * (3pi/4)

96pi units²
