Area of segment (the shaded region) = Area of sector - area of triangle

Where:

Area of sector =(θπ360)r2

Area of segment =(sinθ2)r2

Derive the equation:

Area of segment =(θπ360)r2(sinθ2)r2

Area of segment =r2(θπ360sinθ2)

Given:

Central angle, θ=60°

Radius, r=120 cm

pi, π3.14

Solve for the area of segment or shaded region:

Area of segment =r2(θπ360sinθ2)

Area = (120 cm)2 [60×3.14360sin602]

Area = 14,400 cm2 [0.5230.8662]

Area = 14,400 cm2 [0.5230.433]

Area = 14,400 cm2 (0.09)

Area of segment or shaded region = 1,296 cm2
