Step-by-step explanation

We are to find the area of the shaded sector

To do s,w e will have to use the formula:


(\theta)/(360)*\pi r^2

in our case, the central angle is a major angle


\begin{gathered} \theta=360-90=270 \\ r=18ft \end{gathered}

Thus, we will have


(270)/(360)*\pi*18^2=243*\pi=243\pi

Thus, the answer is


243\pi
