Check the picture below on the left-side.
we know the central angle of the "empty" area is 120°, however the legs coming from the center of the circle, namely the radius, are always 6, therefore the legs stemming from the 120° angle, are both 6, making that triangle an isosceles.
now, using the "inscribed angle" theorem, check the picture on the right-side, we know that the inscribed angle there, in red, is 30°, that means the intercepted arc is twice as much, thus 60°, and since arcs get their angle measurement from the central angle they're in, the central angle making up that arc is also 60°, as in the picture.
so, the shaded area is really just the area of that circle's "sector" with 60°, PLUS the area of the circle's "segment" with 120°.
