Divide the measurement of the sector’s angle by 180°
, then multiply the quotient by π
times the radius squared.

Correct choice: "Divide the measurement of the sector’s angle by 360°, then multiply the quotient by π times the radius squared."

Derivation (degrees): A full circle area = πr². A sector with central angle θ (in degrees) is θ/360 of the circle, so
Area = (θ/360)·πr².

(If θ is in radians, Area = (θ/2π)·πr² = ½ r²θ.)
