Area of shaded region = Area of Quarter Circle - Area of triangle POQ

Area of shaded region = (1/4)π2^2 - (1/2)*2*2 = π-2

(A) \(4\pi – 2\)

(B) \(4\pi — 4\)

(C) \(2\pi – 2\)

(D) \(2\pi — 4\)

(E) \(\pi - 2\)
Area of shaded region = (Sector area) - (Triangle Area)

• Sector area as fraction of the circle's area

The key to these kinds of problems often is:
"The sector is what fraction of the circle?"

Use the sector's central angle (given, = 90°) to find that fraction

\(\frac{Part}{Whole}=\frac{SectorAngle}{360°}=\frac{90}{360}=\frac{1}{4}=\frac{SectorArea}{CircleArea}\)

Area of sector = \(\frac{1}{4}\) area of circle

• Area of circle and area of sector

Circle area, r = 2: \(πr^2 = 4π\)
Sector area: \(\frac{4π}{4}\)= \(π\)

• Area of triangle

Area of triangle with radii as sides (s = b and h):
\(\frac{s*s}{2} = \frac{4}{2}\) = \(2\)

• Area of shaded region
= (Area of sector) - (Area of triangle)

Area of shaded region = \(π - 2\)

\(\frac{90}{360} = \frac{x}{π2^2}\)

\(\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{4π}\)

\(x = π\)

Area of Triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * 2 * 2 =2

Shaded region = Sector Area - Area of traingle
= \(π - 2\)
