Answer

$36\text{ ft}^2$

Work Step by Step

$\because A = \dfrac{1}{2}r^2 \theta$ where $r$: Radius of the circle $\theta$: Central angle that subtends the arc (in radians) $A$: Area of the sector of the circle formed by the central angle $\theta$ Using the formula above gives: $A = \dfrac{1}{2}\times (6)^2 \times 2 = \boxed{36 \text{ ft}^2}$
