Answer

$\color{blue}{A\approx 706.9\space ft^2}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The area of a sector $(A)$ intercepted by a central angle $\theta$ on a circle whose radius is $r$ is given by the formula: $A = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta$, where $\theta$ is in radian measure. Substitute the given values of the radius and $\theta$ to obtain: $A=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta \\A=\frac{1}{2}(30.0^2)(\frac{\pi}{2}) \\A=706.8583471 \\\color{blue}{A\approx 706.9\space ft^2}$
