Find the area of the shaded portion of the semicircular figure.

Find the area of the shaded portion of the semicircular figure.

Answer Details

Asector = $\frac{60}{360}\times \pi r^2$

= $\frac{1}{6}\pi r^2$

A$△$ = $\frac{1}{2}{r}^2\sin {60}^o$

$\frac{1}{2}{r}^2\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{r^2\sqrt{3}}{4}$

A$\text{shaded portion}$ = Asector -
A$△$

= ($\frac{1}{6}\pi r^2-\frac{r^2\sqrt{3}}{4}{)}^3$

= $\frac{\pi r^2}{2}-\frac{3r^2\sqrt{3}}{4}$

= $\frac{r^2}{4}(2\pi -3\sqrt{3})$
