Answer:

x = 135°

Explanation:

The angle x is the same fraction of 360° that the shaded area is of the area of the circle.

The area of a circle is given by the formula ...

A = πr²

For a radius of 12 cm, the area of the circle is ...

A = π(12 cm)² = 144π cm²

Then the measure of angle x is ...

x = (54π cm²)/(144π cm²)×360°

x = 135°
