Use the properties of a 30-60-90 right triangle (exactly one-half of the equilateral triangle) to determine the height of the triangle. The height of the triangle times the side of the triangle divided by 2 is the area of the triangle. The area of the circle is 
. The area of the three circle segments is the area of the circle minus the area of the triangle. The area of one of the segments is the area of all three identical segments divided by 3.
Since you didn't bother to share a picture or a description of "the shaded area" and I have no crystal ball, tarot cards, chicken bones, tea leaves, or other divination devices, I'm afraid that is all I can do for you.
