Answer:

34.26 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the shaded region we must find the total area of the half-circle and then substract from it the area of the triangle

  • Step 1: Find the area of the half circle

Let A be the area of the half circle

A = r²*π   where r is the radius

A = 4²π = 16π mm²

  • Step2: Find the area of the triangle

Let A' be the area of the triangle

A' = (b*h)/2   where b and h are respectively the base and the the height

A'= (8*4)/2 = 16

  • Step3: Find the area of the shaded region

Let A" be the area of the shaded region

A" = A-A'

A" = 16π -16 = 34.26 mm²
