Given:-  

The length of arc AB is equal to five times the radius r of the circle. 

Formula used:-

Area of sector = (θ/360) × πr² 
 
Length of arc = (θ/360) ×  2πr

Where,

θ is the central angle in degrees

r is the radius of the circle 

Calculation:-

The length of arc AB is equal to five times the radius 

⇒ 5r = (θ/360) ×  2πr 

⇒ θ = (5r × 360) / (2πr)

θ = 900 /π degrees 

Area of sector = (900/(360× π )) × πr²

Area of sector = 2.5r²

∴The area of sector AOB is 2.5r2
