In the figure above, if the chords, WZ and segment XY are diameters of the circle with length 12. then the area of the shaded region?

WELL let us take the centre to be O . Let the perpendicular from X on WZ be A and the perpendicular from Y on WZ be B . THEN the upper triangle is AOX and the lower triangle is BOY .
So as per the question ∠ X O Z = 1 3 5 ∘ .
Which follows that ∠ X O W = 4 5 ∘ . tHIS makes the triangle isoceles .
SO the sides of A O X , A O = A X . Using Pythagorean Theorem We get...
A O 2 + A X 2 = X O 2 . .
⇒ A O 2 + A O 2 = ( 6 ) 2 .
THerefore, A O 2 = 1 8 .
⇒ A r e a O f A O X = 1 / 2 × A O × A O .
⇒ A r e a O f A O X = 1 / 2 × 1 8 .
⇒ A r e a O f A O X = 9 .
⇒ A r e a O f S h a d e d R e g i o n = 2 ⋅ A r e a O f A O X = 1 8 .
