Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Length of arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r = 6

\(\theta\) x 2\(\pi\)r = 360 x 6

\(\theta\) = \(\frac{360 \times 6}{2\pi r}\)

Area of the sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x \(\pi\)r2

\(\frac{360 \times 6}{2\pi r}\) x \(\frac{1}{360}\) x \(\pi\)r2 = r

= 3 x 7

= 21cm2
