  1. We know that each angle of equilateral triangle is 60°.
    Area of sector OCDE
    = 60°/360° × πr² = 1/6 × π(6)² = 1/6 × 22/7 × 6 × 6 = 132/7 cm²
    Area of equilateral triangle OAB
    = √3/4 (12)² = 36√3 cm²
    Area of circle
    = πr² = π(6)² = 22/7 × 6 × 6 = 792/7 cm²
    Area of shaded region
    = Area of circle + Area of triangle OAB- Area of sector OCDE
    = (792/7 + 36√3 – 132/7) cm²
    = (36√3 + 660/7) cm²

    Here is the video explanation 😃🙌
