Answer:

Area of the shaded portion = 54.5 cm²

Explanation:

Solve first for the area of the circle:


area \: of \: circle = \pi {r}^(2) \\ = \pi( (d)/(2) )^(2) \\ = \pi( (10)/(2) )^(2) \\ = 25\pi \: or \: 78.5398 {cm}^(2)

Then, compute for the area of the triangle:


area \: of \: triangle = (1)/(2) * base * height \\ = (1)/(2) ( {8})(6) \\ = 24 {cm}^(2)

Since we only needed the shaded portion, we have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the circle


25\pi {cm}^(2) - 24 {cm}^(2) = 54.5398 {cm}^(2)
