http://gyazo.com/bf5c06e1c334d1db8024e55a561b59cc What is the area of the shaded region in the given circle in terms of pi and in simplest form?

OpenStudy (bibby):

separate it into 2 areas, find the area of the circle first. not the whole circle, just hte shaded part w/o the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area of the shaded part of the circle is 1017.88 correct?

OpenStudy (bibby):

it says in terms of pi, don't simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

324 pi

OpenStudy (bibby):

that's not an answer

OpenStudy (bibby):

or a choice*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that's the area of the circle

OpenStudy (bibby):

oh, I'm stupid and sleep deprived sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay me too :P so where do i go from there?

OpenStudy (bibby):

I didn't mean the whole circle, I meant this part|dw:1428303245316:dw| give me a while to look back at some of these formulas lol

OpenStudy (bibby):

ok we have \(A=\dfrac{n}{360} \pi r^2\) to find the area of n degrees of a circle. here n is 300

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! so it's 270 pi

OpenStudy (bibby):

how'd you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 300/360 = .83333333333333 Then you have to multiply that by r squared which is 324. which gives me 270

OpenStudy (bibby):

isn't r 19?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r is 18

OpenStudy (bibby):

woooow

OpenStudy (bibby):

my bad, okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my guess is the answer is 270 pi + 54(sqr root of 3)

OpenStudy (bibby):

so the area of the shaded circle is 270pi, that means we can cancel b

OpenStudy (bibby):

then find the area of the equilateral triangle

OpenStudy (bibby):

|dw:1428303810092:dw| idk how much trig you know but you can go the bruteforce route and use a google calculator instead google says the area of an equilateral triangle = \(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}s^2\)
