Hint: First assume the area of 2 consecutive ribs to be ‘x’ and find the area of the umbrella based on ribs. Later find the area of the umbrella which makes a circle by using the formula ‘$\pi {r^2}$’. Compare the 2 areas to find the required solution.

As we can see from the above figure that an umbrella having 8 ribs will have 8 different sectors.

And as given in the question area all ribs are equally placed.

So let the area between any two consecutive ribs be $x{\text{ }}c{m^2}$.

So, as ribs are equally placed then the area of all sectors will be the same.

Hence the total area of the umbrella will be $8x{\text{ }}c{m^2}$.

$\Rightarrow$ Area = $8x{\text{ }}c{m^2}$..................................(1)

The radius of the umbrella is given as, r = 45cm.

As we know here umbrella is a flat circle so, its area will be $\pi {r^2}$

$\Rightarrow Area = \pi {r^2} = \dfrac{{22}}{7}*{(45)^2}c{m^2} = 6364.28c{m^2}$

Comparing Area with equation (1) we get,

$\Rightarrow 8x = 6364.28$

$\Rightarrow x = 795.53{\text{ }}c{m^2}$

Hence the area between two consecutive ribs will be $795.53{\text{ }}c{m^2}$.
