Answer:

d. 56 cm²

Explanation:

A = πr²

πr² = 616 in.²

r² = 196.079 in²

r = 14 in.

The sector of the circle has a 90° central angle, so its area is

616 cm² / 4 = 154 cm²

The isosceles triangle shown is a 45-45-90 triangle.

The congruent sides are radii pf the circle.

MN = 2 × 14/√2 in. = 19.799 in.

The height of triangle LMN is 19.799 in. / 2 = 9.899 in.

Area of triangle LMN = bh/2 = 19.799 in. × 9.899 in. / 2 = 97.995 in.²

shaded area = area of sector - area of triangle LMN

shaded area = 154 cm² - 97.995 cm²

shaded area = 56 cm²

Answer: d. 56 cm²
