Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

The triangle with the shaded region makes exactly 1/4 of the entire circle. So the plan is to find the area of the circle and divide by 4. That gives you the area of the triangle and the shaded region. Then you find the area of the triangle and subtract it from what you just found.

Area of the circle

Area of the circle = pi * r^2

r = 12 cm

pi = 3.14

Area of the circle = 3.14 * 12^2

Area of the circle = 3.14 * 144

Area of the circle = 452.16 cm^2

Area of 1/4 of the circle

Area of 1/4 of the circle = (1/4)*452.16

Area of 1/4 of the circle = 113.04

Area of the triangle

b = r

h = r

b = 12 cm

h = 12 cm

Area = 1/2 b * h

area = 1/2 * 12 * 12

area = 72

Area of the shaded part

Shaded part = area of 1/4 of the circle - area of triangle

Area shaded part = 113.04 - 72 = 41.04

Answer area of shaded part = 41.04
