We know the area of a cirlce is


A=\pi\cdot r^2

This is because, in radians, the angle of a whole circle is


2\pi

In order to proceed, we'll use the formula


167\cdot(\pi)/(180)\approx2.9147

Using this new value, we can now compute the area of the shaded region using the formula


A=\alpha r^2
\text{Where }\alpha\text{ is the angle that generates the shaded region in radians}

In this case we have:


A=2.9147\cdot(17.8)^2=\text{ }923.493548

Round to the nearest tenth:


A=923.5yd^2
