733.386733.386

Explanation:

As the chord with a length of 44 runs from pi/4π4 to pi/3π3 radians, it is obvious that it subtends an angle of pi/3-pi/4=pi/12π3π4=π12.

Hence complete circumference, which subtends an angle of 2pi2π should be of length

4xx(2pi)/(pi/12)=4xx2pixx12/pi4×2ππ12=4×2π×12π i.e. 9696.

Hence, radius of circle is 96/(2pi)=48/pi962π=48π, and area of circle will be

pixx(48/pi)^2=48xx48/pi=733.386π×(48π)2=48×48π=733.386
