Step 1: Understand the relationship between arc length and the circumference of a circle.
The problem states that the length of an arc is 51 of its circumference. This means that the sector enclosed by this arc represents 51 of the entire circle.
The ratio of the arc length to the circumference is equal to the ratio of the sector's angle to 360∘.
CircumferenceArcLength=360∘AngleofSector=51
Step 2: Understand the relationship between the area of a sector and the area of the circle.
The ratio of the area of a sector to the area of the entire circle is the same as the ratio of the arc length to the circumference (or the ratio of the sector's angle to 360∘).
AreaofCircleAreaofSector=CircumferenceArcLength
Step 3: Calculate the area of the sector.
Given that the area of the circle is 346.5cm2 and the arc length is 51 of the circumference, we can write:
346.5cm2AreaofSector=51
To find the area of the sector, multiply the area of the circle by 51:
Area of Sector=51×346.5cm2
Area of Sector=69.3cm2
The final answer is 69.3cm2.
