What is the area of the sector of a circle with radius $$12$$ units if the central angle of the sector is $$60$$ degrees?

Flashcard 9 - 11th Grade Mathematics: Geometry Flashcard Set for the SBAC

\[24 \pi\]

The sector maps $\dfrac{60}{360} = \dfrac{1}{6}$ of the entire circle.

The area of the entire circle is $A = \pi (12)^2 = 144 \pi$.

Now, $\dfrac{1}{6}$ of $144 \pi$ is $24 \pi$.
