Answer:the area of the shaded Portion is 64π/3 square centimeters

Explanation:

The shaded portion of the circle is a sector with a central angle of 120 degrees.

The formula for determining the area of a sector is expressed as

Area of sector = #/360 × πr^2

Where

# represents the central angle

r represents the radius of the circle.

The radius of the given circle is 8cm.

Area of sector = 120/360 × π × 8^2

= 1/3 × π × 64

= 64π/3 square centimeters
