The area of sector is given by :- 

                                       Area\ =\ \frac{\Theta}{360^{\circ}}\ \times \pi r^2

In this case the angle is 80o.

Thus the area is :-  

                                                    =\ \frac{80^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\ \times \pi \times 16.5^2

or                                                 =\ 189.97\ Km^2
