Answer:

The radius of a circumcircle of an equilateral triangle is equal to (a / √3), where ‘a’ is the length of the side of equilateral triangle.

Circle Radius = 16 / sq root (3)

Circle Radius = 9.237604307

Circle Area = PI * radius ^ 2

Circle Area = PI * 85.3333333333

Circle Area = 268.083

Equilateral Triangle area = side^2 * sq root (3) / 4

Equilateral Triangle area = 16^2 * 0.4330127019

Equilateral Triangle area = 110.85

Shaded region = 268.083 - 110.85

Shaded region = 157.233
