69.3 cm2\text{69.3 cm}^2

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Understand the relationship between arc length and the circumference of a circle.

    The problem states that the length of an arc is 15\frac{1}{5} of its circumference. This means that the sector enclosed by this arc represents 15\frac{1}{5} 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∘360^\circ.

    Arc LengthCircumference=Angle of Sector360∘=15\frac{\text{Arc Length}}{\text{Circumference}} = \frac{\text{Angle of Sector}}{360^\circ} = \frac{1}{5}
  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∘360^\circ).

    Area of SectorArea of Circle=Arc LengthCircumference\frac{\text{Area of Sector}}{\text{Area of Circle}} = \frac{\text{Arc Length}}{\text{Circumference}}
  3. Calculate the area of the sector.

    Given that the area of the circle is 346.5 cm2346.5 \text{ cm}^2 and the arc length is 15\frac{1}{5} of the circumference, we can write:

    Area of Sector346.5 cm2=15\frac{\text{Area of Sector}}{346.5 \text{ cm}^2} = \frac{1}{5}

    To find the area of the sector, multiply the area of the circle by 15\frac{1}{5}:

    Area of Sector=15×346.5 cm2\text{Area of Sector} = \frac{1}{5} \times 346.5 \text{ cm}^2 Area of Sector=69.3 cm2\text{Area of Sector} = 69.3 \text{ cm}^2

    The final answer is 69.3 cm2\text{69.3 cm}^2.
