Answer:


\textsf{C)} \quad (156\pi)/(5)\; \sf sq.\;inches

Explanation:

To calculate the area of the colored sector of the circle with radius 12 inches, use the area of a sector formula.


\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6.4 cm}\underline{Area of a sector}\\\\$A=\left((\theta)/(360^(\circ))\right) \pi r^2$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $r$ is the radius. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $\theta$ is the angle measured in degrees.\\\end{minipage}}

From inspection of the given diagram, the measure of the central angle of the major arc is 282°.

Angles around a point sum to 360°. Therefore, the central angle of the colored sector is:


\implies 360^(\circ)-282^(\circ)=78^(\circ)

Substitute θ = 78° and r = 12 into the area of a sector formula and solve for A:


\implies A=\left((78^(\circ))/(360^(\circ))\right) \pi (12)^2


\implies A=\left((13)/(60)\right) \pi (144)


\implies A=\left((1872)/(60)\right) \pi


\implies A=(156\pi)/(5)\; \sf sq.\;inches

Therefore, the area of the colored sector is:


(156\pi)/(5)\; \sf sq.\;inches
