The region represented by the shaded area has 25% and accounts for one-quarter of the overall circle.

The area is the space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane. The area of the circle is the space occupied by the circle in a two-dimensional plane.

The formula for calculating circle area is r2, where r is the radius of the circle.

The entire area of the circle in the accompanying figure is r2. The shaded area accounts for one-fourth of the circle's overall area.

Total area = πr²

Shaded area = ( 1 / 4 )πr²

The percentage of the shaded area will be calculated as

Shaded area = ( 1 / 4 )πr²

Shaded area = ( 0.25 )πr²

To convert it into a percentage multiply by 100.

Shaded area = ( 0.25 x 100 )πr²

Shaded area =25% πr²

Put πr² as the total area.

Shaded area =25% of Total area.

Therefore, the region represented by the shaded area has 25% and is 1/4th of the total circle.
