Answer:
[tex] \approx \: 7.33 \: {cm}^{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the blue shaded region
[tex] = \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree} \times \pi r_1^2 - \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree} \times \pi r_2^2 \\ \\ = \frac{ \pi\theta}{360 \degree} ( r_1^2 - r_2^2) \\ \\ ( r_1 = 4 \: cm, \: \: r_2 = 3\: cm, \: \: \theta = 120 \degree) \\ \\ = \frac{ 3.14 \times 120 \degree}{360 \degree} ( 4^2 - 3^2) \\ \\ = \frac{ 3.14 }{3} \times 7 \\ \\ = \frac{21.98}{3} \\ \\ = 7.32666667 \\ \\ \approx \: 7.33 \: {cm}^{2} [/tex]
