By pythagorean theorem: ( 2 x ) 2 = 9 2 + 9 2 (2x)^2=9^2+9^2 \implies 4 x 2 = 81 + 81 4x^2=81+81 \implies x 2 = 81 2 x^2=\dfrac{81}{2} \implies x = 81 2 = 9 1 2 x=\sqrt{\dfrac{81}{2}}=9\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}

A r e a s e g m e n t = a r e a s e c t o r a r e a t r i a n g l e = 90 360 π ( 9 1 2 ) 2 1 2 ( 9 1 2 ) 2 = 11.5586 Area~segment=area~sector-area~triangle=\dfrac{90}{360}\pi \left(9\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}\right)^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\left(9\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}\right)^2=11.5586

A r e a s h a d e d = a r e a s e m i c i r c l e + a r e a s e g m e n t = 1 2 π ( 4. 5 2 ) + 11.5586 = Area~shaded=area~semicircle+area~segment=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi (4.5^2)+11.5586= 43.367 \boxed{43.367}
