Answer:
40π in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
360°/72°=5
so, each of the two shaded regions are 1/5 of the circle.
the formula for finding the area of a circle is πr^2, so:
area for one of the shaded regions:
1/5πr^2
1/5π(10)^2
1/5π100
20π in^2
this means that the area for one of the shaded regions is 20π. however, since there are two of them:
2(20π)=40π
so, the area of the shaded regions is 40πin^2
