A sector of a circle with a radius of 6 cm has a central angle of 90º.
What is the area of the sector, in square centimeters?
Express your answer in terms of π.
:A = 1%2F4 * pi%2A6%5E2
There are 4 90degree sectors in a circle, therefore the area of the sector
A = 1%2F4 * pi%2A6%5E2
A = 1%2F4 * 36%2Api
A = 9%2Api sq/cm
