The shaded part of the circle is the larger sector:


\begin{gathered} \text{The angle subtended by the larger sector by the center is} \\ 360^0-60^0=300^0\text{ (sum of angles at a point is 360 degr}ees) \end{gathered}

The area of a sector is given by the formula:


\begin{gathered} A=(\theta)/(360)*\pi r^2 \\ \theta=300^0 \\ r=x \end{gathered}

Hence,


\begin{gathered} A=(300)/(360)*\pi x^2 \\ =(5)/(6)\pi x^2 \end{gathered}
