Q. In the diagram below, the circle has a radius length of r=4 r = 4 . If the measure of central angle AB=115 AB = 115 °, then what is the area of the unshaded part of the circle O O ?
  1. Calculate Circle Area: Calculate the area of the entire circle.\newlineThe formula for the area of a circle is A=πr2A = \pi r^2, where rr is the radius of the circle.\newlineGiven r=4r = 4, we calculate the area as follows:\newlineA=π(4)2=16πA = \pi(4)^2 = 16\pi square units.
  2. Calculate Shaded Fraction: Calculate the fraction of the circle that is shaded by the central angle.\newlineThe central angle of the shaded sector is 115115^\circ. The fraction of the circle that this sector represents is given by the central angle over 360360^\circ.\newlineFraction of circle = Central angle / 360360^\circ = 115/360115^\circ / 360^\circ.
  3. Calculate Shaded Sector Area: Calculate the area of the shaded sector.\newlineUsing the fraction from Step 22, we multiply it by the total area of the circle to find the area of the shaded sector.\newlineArea of shaded sector = Fraction of circle ×\times Area of entire circle = (115°/360°)×16π(115° / 360°) \times 16\pi.\newlineArea of shaded sector = (115/360)×16π10.2222π(115 / 360) \times 16\pi \approx 10.2222\pi square units.
  4. Calculate Unshaded Area: Calculate the area of the unshaded part of the circle.\newlineTo find the area of the unshaded part, we subtract the area of the shaded sector from the total area of the circle.\newlineArea of unshaded part = Area of entire circle - Area of shaded sector = 16π10.2222π16\pi - 10.2222\pi.\newlineArea of unshaded part 5.7778π\approx 5.7778\pi square units.
