Area of shaded region can be calculated by subtracting the area of minor sector at vertex B from the sum of areas of the major sector at O and area of equilateral triangle.

Given Radius of circle at O = r = 6 cm

Side of equilateral triangle = a = 12 cm

Central angle at O = 360 -60 = 300°

Central angle at B = 60°

Area of the equilateral triangle =

where a = side of equilateral triangle

Area of the equilateral triangle = (putting the value of a)

Area of the equilateral triangle = (144×√3)/4

Area of the equilateral triangle = 36√3 cm² → eqn1

Area of sector = θ/360×πR² where r = radius of the sector

Area of minor sector at B = 60/360×π×(6²) (given)

∴ Area of minor sector at B = 6π cm²→ eqn2

Similarly,

∴ Area of major sector at O = 30π cm²→ eqn3

Area of shaded region = eqn1 + eqn3 – eqn2

On putting values

⇒ Area of shaded region = 36√3 + 30π-6π

Area of shaded region = 36√3 + 24π

(put π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73

∴ Area of shaded region = (36×1.73) + (24×3.14)

⇒ Area of shaded region = 62.28 + 75.36

∴ Area of shaded region = 137.64 cm²

Area of the shaded region is 137.64 cm².
