The area of the shaded region is 44.24\ cm^{2}44.24 cm2
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the circle minus the area of rectangle
step 1
Find the area of circle
The area of the circle is equal to
A=\pi r^{2}A=πr2
we have
r=4\ cmr=4 cm
substitute
A=\pi (4)^{2}A=π(4)2
A=16\pi\ cm^{2}A=16π cm2
step 2
Find the area of rectangle
The area of rectangle is equal to
A=(3)(2)=6\ cm^{2}A=(3)(2)=6 cm2
step 3
Find the difference
16\pi\ cm^{2}-6\ cm^{2}16π cm2−6 cm2
assume
\pi=3.14π=3.14
16(3.14)\ cm^{2}-6\ cm^{2}=44.24\ cm^{2}16(3.14) cm2−6 cm2=44.24 cm2
