The shaded area involves the entire triangle (shaded green), and two sectors of the circle (shaded red):




So for the total shaded area, you just add the three areas here.

Firstly, the triangle area then. Are you able to determine what it is?

You're gonna need to rephrase that question because it's not coherent.

Is OAB a sector?

Nope, because AB is not an arc of the circle... it's a straight line.

Hmm.So,it means the other two shapes are sector because the their lines are connected to arc.

First of all... there is no question there.

Secondly, have a go yourself first and post any thoughts. This isn't a "do my maths for me" site :smile:

yes you're right,It involves formulas which are taught in mensuration chapter.
The question are:
1) CAM
2)DCM.
And what you said is totally correct,But today I had a maths test and this question was included in the test,I tried a lot,however couldn't get it right.
That is why,I asked you about it.

For CAM, you can first of all state what the blue angle is. Hence determine what the green angle is. Hence determine what the red angle is.

how can i find the blue angle?

Use the fact that we have a right-angled triangle here (purple):
