1. If we join another radius to the shaded area, we will notice that the triangle has all sides 4 units, making it an equilateral triangle.
2. Equilateral triangle has all angles 60°
-
Area of 1 sector = 60/360 x π (4)² = 8.38 units²
-
[tex] \text {Area of equilateral triangle =} \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \text{(4)}^2 = 6.93 \text{ units}^2 [/tex]
-
Area of 1 shaded part = 8.38 - 6.93 = 1.45 units²
Area of all shaded part = 1.45 x 2 = 2.9 units²
-
Answer: 2.9 units²
