Step 1
First, let's draw a diagram of the given information. Draw a circle with center O and radius 12 cm. Draw a tangent line PQ to the circle at point P. Extend the line PQ to point R such that QR = 4 cm. Draw a line segment OR. Show more…

Circles and the Pythagorean Theorem
From point $P, \overline{P A}$ and $\overline{P B}$ are drawn tangent to circle $O$ at points $A$ and $B$ . If the radius of the circle is 6 and $m \angle A P B=60$ , find the area of the region outside the circle but inside quadrilateral $A O B P$ .
