. Find the area of the sector if the radius of the circle is 8 cm.

25.12 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine what fraction of a whole circle is created by a 45 degree angle:  It is 1/8.

Step 2:  Determine the area of the entire circle:  It is A = pi(8 cm)^2, or

A = 3.14(64) cm^2 = 200.96 cm^2

Step 3:  Multiply this area by 1/8:  (1/8)(200.96 cm^2) = 25.12 cm^2
