Calculate the area of sector of a circle by using formula : A = (θ/360) * πr2, where θ = central angle in degrees and r = radius.

To find the measure of the angle, substitute A = 2.512 cm2, r = 4 cm and π = 22/7 in the above formula.

2.512 = (θ/360) * (22/7)(4)2

(2.512 * 7 * 360) / (22 * 16) = θ

6478.92 / 352 = θ

17.98 = θ

The angle is 17.98o.
