Can someone check this, please? Thanks in advance =)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \textit{area of a sector of a circle}=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}\qquad \begin{array}{llll} \theta=\textit{angle in degrees}\\ r=radius \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

no is not 8

OpenStudy (eg145341):

That's what I keep getting though

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hm recall that radius is half the diameter

OpenStudy (eg145341):

So the radius would be 8 right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and that you're asked to find the SHADED area, no the NON-SHADED one

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the shaded area will be anything BUT \(45^o\)

OpenStudy (eg145341):

I'm confused.

OpenStudy (eg145341):

Is 8 the area of the non-shaded area?

OpenStudy (eg145341):

Would the area of the shaded sector be 56?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

woops ... I was a bit caught up yes is 56 \(\bf \textit{area of a sector of a circle}=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}\implies \cfrac{(360^o-45^o) \pi \frac{diameter}{2}^2}{360} \\ \quad \\ \cfrac{315 \pi 8^2}{360}\implies \cfrac{\cancel{20160} \pi}{\cancel{360}}\implies 56\pi\)

Thank you =)
