Correct Answer: $3 \sqrt{14} \mathrm{~cm} $
Solution :
The area \(A\) of a sector of a circle with radius \(r\) and central angle \(\theta\) (in degrees),
$A = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2$
Given that \(A = 66\;\mathrm{cm^2}\) and \(\theta = 60^{\circ}\).
$⇒66 = \frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2$
$⇒66=\frac{11}{21}r^2$
$⇒r^2 = 126$
$⇒r^2=3\sqrt{14}\ \text{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $3\sqrt{14}\ \text{cm}$.
