The area of the shaded region is [tex]\rm (150\sqrt{3} \ - 75\pi ) \ feet^2[/tex] option first is correct.
It is given that a circle is inscribed in a regular hexagon with sides of 10 feet.
It is required to find the shaded area (missing data is attached shown in the picture).
It is defined as the combination of points that and every point has an equal distance from a fixed point ( called the center of a circle).
We have a hexagon with a side length of 10 feet.
We know the area of the hexagon is given by:
[tex]\rm A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} a^2[/tex] where a is the side length.
[tex]\rm A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} 10^2[/tex] ⇒ [tex]150\sqrt{3}[/tex] [tex]\rm feet^2[/tex]
We have the shortest length = x feet and from the figure:
2x = 10
x = 5 feet
The radius of the circle r = longer leg
[tex]\rm r = x\sqrt{3} \Rightarrow 5\sqrt{3}[/tex] feet
The area of the circle a = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\pi (5\sqrt{3} )^2 \Rightarrow 75\pi \ \rm feet^2[/tex]
The area of the shaded region = A - a
[tex]\rm =(150\sqrt{3} \ - 75\pi ) \ feet^2[/tex]
Thus, the area of the shaded region is [tex]\rm (150\sqrt{3} \ - 75\pi ) \ feet^2[/tex]
