Because: I A K = 3 0 o , A I = A K = 6 \angle{IAK}=30^{o}, AI=AK=6 I K = 2 S I N ( π 15 180 ) 6 = 3.1 IK=2*SIN(\frac{\pi*15}{180})*6=3.1 S ( I K ) = π × 36 12 ( 1 / 2 ) 36 S I N ( π 30 180 ) = 0.424 S(\frown{IK})=\frac{\pi *\times 36}{12}-(1/2)*36*SIN(\frac{\pi*30}{180})=0.424 S s h a d e d = I K 2 + 4 S ( I K ) = 11.345 S_{shaded}=IK^2+4*S(\frown{IK})=\boxed{11.345}

How is Angle IAK = 30 deg ?

Let a point E E be at the midpoint of A A and B B and another point F F be at the intersection of line AB and the perpendicular of line AB going through point K K . Triangle IAE is a 30-60-90 triangle with the 60 degree angle at IAE and triangle AKF is also a 30-60-90 with the 30 degree angle at KAF.

Since IAE is made up of angles IAK and KAF, we have

  • IAE = IAK + KAF
  • IAK = IAE - KAF
  • IAK = 60 - 30 = 30

u could also use similarity of triangles to prove that angle was trisected

In the first figure, arc ab =1/3 of arc DabB. Hence, angle aAb= 1/3 of angle DAB =30 So, angle Aab=angle Aba=(180-30)/2=75 Now, at triangle Aab: ab/sin30 = Aa/sin75=Ab/sin75 {Ab=Aa= 6cm} Hence, ab= (6 sin30/sin75)= 3.1058 cm Now, area of abcd square = (ab)^2= 9.646 cm^2 ..............................................................(i) Again, in 2nd figure; area of shaded region= total area- area of Aab triangle =(30/360) pi6^2- 9 =3 pi- 9 =0.424778 cm^2 .............................(ii) Finally : Total shaded area= (i)+4 (ii) =9.646+1.699 cm^2 =11.345 cm^2
