By definition, the area of the shaded region is given by:[tex]A = (s' / s) * ( \pi ) * (r ^ 2)
[/tex] Where, r: radius of the circle s'/s: relationship of arcs Substituting values we have:[tex]A = (270/360) * ( \pi ) * (4 ^ 2)
A = 12 * \pi [/tex] Answer: The area of the shaded region is:[tex]A = 12 * \pi [/tex] option 1
