For each case, find the area of the whole circle with the given radius. Then use the given central angle to find the fraction of a circle it represents. Multiply the whole area by that fraction to find the area of the sector.

A. central angle 135 degrees; radius 2 square root 2
The area of the whole circle is
135 degrees us 135/360 = 3/8 of the whole circle
area:

B. central angle 80 degrees; radius 3
The area of the whole circle is
80 degrees us 80/360 = 2/9 of the whole circle
area:

C. central angle 67.5 degrees; radius 4
The area of the whole circle is
67.5 degrees us 67.5/360 = 3/16 of the whole circle
area:

D. central angle 270 degrees; diameter 4
The area of the whole circle is
270 degrees us 270/360 = 3/4 of the whole circle
area:
