Answer

$12 \pi \ in.^2$

Work Step by Step

Let $A$ be the area of a sector of a circle . The area $(A)$ of a sector of a circle whose radius is $r$ is given by: $A=\pi r^2 \times \dfrac{Measure \ of \ the \ arc}{360^{\circ}}...(1)$ We are given that radius $r=12\ in. $ and $Measure \ of \ the \ arc=30^{\circ}$ Plug the data in the equation (1) to obtain: $A=\pi (12)^2 \times \dfrac{30^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}$ Therefore, we get , $Area=12 \pi \ in.^2$
