Find the area of the shaded region for the following figure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area a cirlce is pi*r^2 in this case, the shaded portion is 1/4 of the circle minus one half of the smaller circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So to find the area of the shaded portion it would be 1/4 pi*r^2 - 1/2 pi*r^2 where on the equation with the 1/4, you'll have the r=the radius of the bigger circle and the one with 1/2 with the radius of the smaller circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks like the 1/4 the area of the big circle - (1/2) the area of the smaller circle.... if they are circles. my computer is displaying them as ellipses.
