Answer: [tex]219.94\ cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The central angle of a sector measures [tex]175^{\circ}[/tex]
The radius of the circle is [tex]r=12\ cm[/tex]
The area of the sector is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\theta }{360^{\circ}}\pi r^2[/tex]
Insert the values
[tex]\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{175^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\cdot \pi \times 12^2\\\\\Rightarrow A=219.94\ cm^2[/tex]
