An arc of circle of radius 2cm subtends an angle of 60o at the centre. Find the area of the sector
  • A.
    (frac{2 pi}{3})cm2
  • B.
    (frac{pi}{2})cm2
  • C.
    (frac{pi}{3})cm2
  • D.
    (pi)cm2
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Area of a sector (frac{theta}{360}) x 2(pi)r
= (frac{60^o}{360^o}) x 2(pi)r
= (frac{2 pi}{3})cm2
