is the answer 1231.61 feet squared?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I believe that the whole area is 1325 while the other area is 94. 1325-94=1231.61

That is my solution as well.

how?
OpenStudy (kinggeorge):
First, find the area of the shaded area. This is given by the formula \[\frac{22}{7}\left(45^2-12^2\right)\approx5911.714285...\]
OpenStudy (kinggeorge):
This "shaded" area is including the wedge cut out.

Now we need to cut out that wedge. The easiest way to do this is with ratios. Note that the angle is \(75^\circ\). That means that the remaining area is given by the formula \[5911.714285\cdot\left(\frac{360-75}{360}\right)\approx4680.11\]

makes sense now
OpenStudy (kinggeorge):
You understand why I was using \[\frac{360-75}{360}\]correct?
