Answer

$6.28\text{ m}^{2}$

Work Step by Step

We have: radius $r=4\text{ m}$ central angle $\theta=45^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{4}\,rad$ The area of a sector is given by the formula $A=\frac{1}{2}r^{2}\theta$ where $\theta$ is in radians and $r$ i the radius. Using the formula above gives: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times (4\text{ m})^{2}\times \frac{\pi}{4}=2\pi\,m^{2}\approx6.28\,m^{2}$ Thus, the area of the sector rounded to two decimal places is $6.28\text{ m}^{2}$.
