Area of the circle A_c =color(green)(~~ 28.2743Ac=28.2743 sq units

Explanation:

In the figure above,

AhatOB = theta = pi/2 - pi/12 = (5pi)/12, AM = (AB) / 2 = 1/2AˆOB=θ=π2π12=5π12,AM=AB2=12

vec(OA) = r = (AM) / sin (theta/2) = (1/2) / sin ((5pi)/24) ~~ 0.3OA=r=AMsin(θ2)=12sin(5π24)0.3

Area of the circle A_c = pi r^2 = pi * 3^2 = color(green)(~~ 28.2743Ac=πr2=π32=28.2743 sq units
