Answer

$r= 2\ cm$

Work Step by Step

The formula used to determine the sector area for any central angle is $A_{s}=\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi({r^2)}$ where $A_{s}$ is the area of the sector and $r$ is the radius of the circle Given Central angle $(\theta)=30^{\circ}$ Area = $\frac{\pi}{3} sq\ cm$ using the above formula $\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{30}{360}\times\pi\ r^2$ $r^2=4$ $r=\sqrt 4$ $r = 2 \ cm$
