Answer

$439.34$

Work Step by Step

The area of a triangle with sides of lengths $a$ and $b$ and with included angle $\theta$ is $A_{t}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} ab \sin\theta$ The area $A$ of a sector with central angle of $\theta$ radians is $ A_{s}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}r^{2}\theta$. The area of a circle with radius r is $A_{c}=\pi r^{2}$ -------------- (shaded area)= (circle) - (sector) + (triangle) $A=A_{c}-A_{s}+A_{t}$ $=12^{2}\displaystyle \cdot\pi-\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12^{2}\cdot\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{1}{2}(12)(12)\sin\frac{\pi}{3}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{144}{2}(2\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$ $\approx$439.344947503$\approx 439.34$
