Find the area of the shaded region

20.52 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

20.52cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

from the picutre we can see that this is a semicircle with 2 right angle triangles inside it. to find the area we will solve for the semi circle then solve for the triangles and and subtract

circle area is leaving the semicircle to be for the semi circle

next we need the radius. since the diameter is given, we can solve for r by dividing it in two

12 ÷ 2 = 6

so the area of the semi circle is

this gives 18cm^2 if we simplify

next the triangles, since they are equal in size we can treat them as a square and stack them. this is because they have equal side lengths so when stacked they form a square:

base x height divided by 2 times 2 would be the normal process to find two equal triangles but you can see the division and multiplication cancel out

6x6= 36cm^2

finally subtracting the areas to find the shaded region and use 3.14 as pi

18cm^2 - 36cm^2 = 20.52cm^2

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry

i think the answer is b.

not 100% sure though.
