Answer:
[tex]13\frac{1}{3} \pi[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the area of the small circle whose radius is 3cm.
[tex]A = \pi r^{2} \\A = \pi (3^{2})\\A = \pi (9)\\A = 9\pi \\[/tex]
Next, find the area of the large circle. First, you need to find the radius of the large circle by adding the 3 and 4.
Radius of large circle.
3 + 4 = 7 cm
Area of large circle:
[tex]A = \pi r^{2} \\A = \pi (7^{2})\\A = \pi (49)\\A = 49\pi \\\\[/tex]
Now subtract the area of the small circle from the large circle since the shaded area doesn't include the small circle.
[tex]49\pi -9\pi =40\pi[/tex]
Finally find the shaded area. To do this first find what degree of the circle is shade by dividing 120 by 360.
120/360 = 1/3
Now multiply the area by 1/3, or you can divide it by 3
[tex]\frac{40\pi }{3} =13\frac{1}{3} \pi[/tex]
