in solving this, we will be using tha area of sector formular,

area of a sector = theta/360 X pi r^2

r = WP/2

recall that WP = 36

so,

r = 36/2

r = 18cm

theta of the shaded area,

theta = 180 - 50

theta = 130

so,

area of the shaded area = 130/360 X 3.14 X 18^2

Area = 13 X 324/36

Area = 13 X 9

Area = 117 pi Cm^2

this makes the first otions correct.
