Answer:

4.44 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diagram attached below is required to complete the question,

Applying,

Area of the shaded segment(A) = Area of the sector- area of the triangle

A = (πr²∅/360)-(r²sin∅/)2................ Equation 1

Where r = radius of the circle, ∅ = angle at the center of the circle,π = pie

From the question,

Given: r = 5.4 cm, ∅ = 72°

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

A = (3.14×5.4²×72/360)-(5.4²/2×sin72)

A = 18.31-13.87

A = 4.44 cm²
