∵ Δ POQ is a right angled triangle
∴ Area of the triangle POQ = 1568 sq m
1568 = 1 / 2 × base × height
1568 = 1 / 2 × r × r
r2 = 3136
Area of the minor sector = (θ / 360) × π r2
= 90/360 × 22/7 × 3136
= 2464 sq m
Area of minor segment (shaded area) = Area of the minor sector – Area of the triangle POQ
= 2464 - 1568
= 896 sq m
