We are given a circle with a radius equal to 15
We know that a full-circle corresponds to 360°.
Whereas a semi-circle corresponds to 180°.
So, the angle corresponding to the shaded region can be found as
[tex]180\degree-45\degree=135\degree[/tex]Now we can use the following formula to find the area of the shaded sector.
[tex]A=\frac{\theta\times\pi}{360\degree}\times r^2[/tex]Where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the angle of the shaded sector (that is 135°)
Let us substitute the given values into the above formula to get the area of the shaded sector.
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{135\degree\times\pi}{360\degree}\times15^2 \\ A=\frac{3\pi}{8}\times225 \\ A=\frac{675\pi}{8} \\ A=265.07 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the area of the shaded sector is 265
