Question

What is the area of the shaded region of the circle?

Answer 1

Answer:

12π ft², B

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle: radius²π

The area of the entire circle would thus be 6²π, or 36π

Note that a circle has a total degree measure of 360°, and the shaded area is 120°. Thus, the area of the shaded region would be 120/360 of the circle's area, or 1/3.

1/3 * total area of the circle = area of the shaded region

1/3 * 36π = 12π

Thus, the answer is 12π ft², or B.
