Answer

\(\boxed{38.29}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Find the base angle of triangle RST: \(\frac{180 - 112}{2} = 34^\circ\)

Step 2 :Use the Law of Sines to find the radius: \(\frac{7}{\sin{34^\circ}} = 6.259\)

Step 3 :Calculate the area of sector RST: \(\frac{112}{360} \times \pi \times 6.259^2 = 38.29\)

Step 4 :\(\boxed{38.29}\)
