Answer:

Given:

Area of the sector (A) = 104π/9 square inches

Central angle (θ) = 65 degrees

The formula for the area of a sector of a circle is:

A = (θ/360) * π * r^2

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the radius (r):

r^2 = (A * 360) / (θ * π)

Plugging in the given values:

r^2 = (104π/9 * 360) / (65 * π)

r^2 = (104 * 40) / 9

r^2 = 4160 / 9

r^2 ≈ 462.22

Taking the square root of both sides:

r ≈ √462.22

r ≈ 21.49

Therefore, the radius of the circle is approximately 21.49 inches.
