The measure of central angle YCZ is 80 degrees.

Circle C is shown. Line segments X C, W C, Y C, and Z C are radii. The length of X C is 9. Angle Y C Z is 80 degrees. Sectors X C W and Y C Z are shaded.

What is the sum of the areas of the two shaded sectors?

18 units2
36 units2
45 units2
81 units2

Area of a sector = (θ/360)·πr^2. Here r = 9 so πr^2 = 81π.

One shaded sector (angle 80°): (80/360)·81π = (2/9)·81π = 18π.
The two shaded sectors together: 2·18π = 36π.

Thus the correct multiple-choice value is 36 (i.e., 36π), so pick 36 units^2.
