A charge of 87.6 pCpC is uniformly distributed on the surface of a thin sheet of insulating material that has a total area of 47.2 cm2cm2. A Gaussian surface encloses a portion of the sheet of charge. If the flux through the Gaussian surface is 5.70 N⋅m2/CN⋅m2/C, what area of the sheet is enclosed by the Gaussian surface?
