sec(θ) = 2

By definition of secant,

cos(θ) = 1/2

Solve for θ :

θ = arccos(1/2) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(1/2) + 2nπ

(where n is any integer)

θ = π/3 + 2nπ   or   θ = -π/3 + 2nπ

We get two solutions in the interval 0 ≤ θ < 2π :

θ = π/3   or   θ = 5π/3

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
