Given:

Length of an arc = 23.1 cm

Angle subtended on center by arc = 18°

Formula used:

Length of an arc = (2 × π × × θ)/360

Area of circle = π × R2

Where, R = radius

Calculation:

Length of an arc = (2 × π × × θ)/360

⇒ 23.1 = (2 × 22 × R × 18)/(360 × 7)

⇒ 23.1 = (22 × R)/(10 × 7)

⇒ R = (2.1 × 70)/2 = 73.5 cm

Area of circle = π × R2

⇒ (22/7) × 73.5 × 73.5

⇒ 22 × 10.5 × 73.5

⇒ 16978.50 cm2

∴ The correct answer is 16978.50 cm2.
