I've been trying to figure this out for an hour and i still don't understand how it's 72. i feel really stupid because it's probably easy to do.

The area of the shaded region is 72π.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circle is 24.

The angle of the shaded region is 45°.

The formula to find the Area of shaded region.

where N is the angle of the shaded region and r is the radius of the circle.

.

.

A=3.14× 24×3.

A=72π.

So the area of the shaded region is 72π.

step-by-step explanation:

there is a formula i can give you:

it is r^2*n*sin(360/n) divided by 2 where r represents the "radius" and n is the number of sides.

plug them in:

(10sqrt(3))^2*6*sin(360/6) divided by 2

100*3*6*sin(60) divided by 2

900*sin(60)

900*sqrt(3)/2

450*sqrt(3)

approx is 779.4 cm^2

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
