For this case we have that by definition, the area of a circle is given by:


A = \pi * r ^ 2

Where:

r: It is the radius of the circle.

So, we have that the area of the shaded region is given by:


\pi * (2x) ^ 2- \pi * 6 ^ 2 = 288 \pi\\4x ^ 2-36 = 288\\4x ^ 2 = 288 + 36\\4x ^ 2 = 324

We divide between 4 on both sides of the equation:


x ^ 2 = 81

We apply root to both sides:


x = \pm \sqrt {81}

We choose the positive value of the root:


x = \sqrt {81}\\x = 9

Finally, the value of "x" is 9

Answer:


x = 9
