15. In the figure above, l1 is tangent to the circle with center O at point A. If the area of the
circle is 36  and OB =12, what is the area of the shaded region?

(A) 6  6 3 (approximately 8.4572)


(B) 6 3 (approximately 10.3923)
(C) 6 (approximately 18.8495)
(D) 6  6 3 (approximately 29.2418)
(E) 6 (approximately 37.6991)

Because of the definition of a tangent line, OA is a radius of the circle.

Since the area of a circle =


36   r 2  r  6  OA  6

 OAB is a 30-60-90 special right triangle where mABO = 30o and mAOB = 60o.

Set up a proportion:
