Answer

\(\boxed{11.42}\) is the area of sector QRS

Steps

Step 1 :Convert angle from degrees to radians: \(\theta = 42 \times (\frac{\pi}{180}) = 0.733\)

Step 2 :Find the radius using chord length formula: \(4 = 2 \times r \times \sin(\frac{\theta}{2}) \Rightarrow r \approx 5.58\)

Step 3 :Calculate the area of sector QRS: \(A = \frac{1}{2} \times r^2 \times \theta \approx 11.42\)

Step 4 :\(\boxed{11.42}\) is the area of sector QRS
