\(A = \frac{S}{2πR} * πR^2\)

S = Arc Length = 2π

R = radius = 6

\(A = \frac{2π}{2π6} * 6^2\) = \(\frac{2π}{12π} * 36\) = \(6π\)

Just need to remember 2 formulas to solve this,

1) Find @(Theta) using below formula.

Circumference of Arc =@/360 * 2 PIE R

2) Add value of in below equation.

Area of Sector = @/360 * PIE Rsquare
