The answer is A. Working the formula backwards you get that r^2=256, so r=16

Answer:

The radius of circle is 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in a circle a 90° sector has area \(64\pi ft^2\)

we have to find the radius of circle.

Sector angle=90°

\(Area=64\pi ft^2\)

The formula to find the area of sector is

\(\text{Area of sector=}\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times \pi r^2\)

\(64\pi =\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\times \pi r^2\)

\(256=r^2\)

\(r=\sqrt{256}=16 ft\)

The radius of circle is 16 ft

Option A is correct.
