What is the area of the shaded region in the given circle in terms of pi? **Picture coming**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (nikato):

Do you know how to find the area of the entire circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply all the sides 2 find the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Area = π × r2 ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sides? its a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel stupid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its all good :) hahaha so exactly how would i solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well first you gotta find the hypotenuse of the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this question is tossing my brain around like a rag doll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha im sorry, so how would i find the hypotenuse?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

find the area of the sector... subtract the area of the triangle... sector angle = \[A = \frac{1}{6} \pi \times 6^2\] area of the triangle \[A = \frac{1}{2}\times 6 \times 6 \times \sin(60)\] the the unshaded area is Unshaed = Area of the sector - area of the triangle so the total shaded area = area of the circle - unshaded

OpenStudy (nikato):

I think you should find the area of an equilateral triangle with side length of 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am really confused

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so the 1st task is to fins the unshaded area... does that make sense..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of triangle is 15.58845727

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so the sector angle is 60 degrees so you are looking at a sector that is 60/360 or 1/6 of the circle... so the area of the sector is \[A = \frac{1}{6} \times 6^2 \times \pi\] so the sector area \[A = 6\pi\] does that make sense...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(30\Pi +9\sqrt{3}) m ^{2}, (24\Pi +9\sqrt{3}) m ^{2}, (30\Pi +18\sqrt{3}) m ^{2}, (24\Pi +18\sqrt{3}) m ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the answers

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... lets forget the answers for a while... now the area of the triangle.... its isosceles... 2 sides of 6 and a subtended angle of 60 so using trig \[A = \frac{1}{2}\times a \times b \times \sin(C)\] you can calculate this... a = 6, b = 6 and C = 60 evaluate it and post the answer...

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

leave the answer as an exact value...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15.5884572681

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well as an exact value the triangle is \[A = 9\sqrt{3}\] so the unshaded Area = Area of the sector - area of the triangle \[Unshaded = 6\pi - 9\sqrt{3}\] now to find the area of the shaded section Area of the circle is \[A = \pi \times 6^2\] shaded area = area of the circle - unshaded area... I'll let you do the calculation

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so the shaded area is \[36\pi - (6\pi - 9\sqrt{3})\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

just simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be A?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

it would...
