What is the approximate area of shaded sector in the circle shown below

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a sector is calculated using the formula
area of sector = area of circle × fraction of circle
= πr² × [tex]\frac{150}{360}[/tex]
= π × 4.5² × [tex]\frac{150}{360}[/tex] ≈ 26.5 cm²
