Answer:
The answer is
397.40 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the shaded area first find the area of both the rectangle and the circle and subtract the smaller one from the larger one.
that's
For the rectangle
Area of rectangle = length × width
From the question
length = 5cm
width = 11 cm
So we have
Area of rectangle = 5cm × 11cm = 55cm²
For the circle
Area of a circle = πr²
where r is the radius
From the question
r = 12 cm
Area of circle = π (12)²
= 144π
= 452.40 cm²
Area of shaded figure
Since the area of the rectangle is smaller than that of the circle we subtract the area of the rectangle from the circle
That's
452.40 cm² - 55cm²
= 397.40 cm² to the nearest hundredth
