Area of a triangle \(= \frac{(base)(height)}{2}\)
Area of triangle AOB\(= \frac{(2)(2)}{2}=2\)
QUANTITY B = 2
-----------------------------
Area of a sector \(= (\frac{central angle}{360})\pi r^2\)
Area of sector OAB \(= (\frac{90}{360})(\pi)(2^2)= (\frac{1}{4})(\pi)(4) = \pi\)
So, the area of the shaded region \(= \pi - 2 ≈ 3.14 - 2≈ 1.14\)
QUANTITY A = (2)(1.14) = 2.28
Answer: A
