Let's break the problem down step by step:
### **Step 1: Determine the Radius of the Circle**
- The given diameter of the circle is \( 24k \), so the radius is:
\[
r = \frac{24k}{2} = 12k
\]
### **Step 2: Compute the Area of Sector ABC**
- The full circle has an area of:
\[
A_{\text{circle}} = \pi r^2 = \pi (12k)^2 = 144\pi k^2
\]
- Since sector ABC is \( \frac{1}{12} \) of the full circle, its area is:
\[
A_{\text{sector}} = \frac{1}{12} \times 144\pi k^2 = 12\pi k^2
\]
### **Step 3: Find the Area of Triangle ABD**
- Since \( AD \) is perpendicular to \( BC \), we assume \( AD \) is the height of \( \triangle ABC \), where \( BC \) is the chord of the sector.
- The central angle of the sector is:
\[
\theta = \frac{360^\circ}{12} = 30^\circ
\]
- The triangle \( \triangle ABC \) is an isosceles triangle with two equal sides being the radii \( 12k \), and the included angle \( 30^\circ \).
- Using the formula for the area of a triangle:
\[
A_{\triangle ABC} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin \theta
\]
\[
= \frac{1}{2} (12k)^2 \sin 30^\circ
\]
\[
= \frac{1}{2} (144k^2) \times \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
= \frac{144k^2}{4} = 36k^2
\]
### **Step 4: Compute the Shaded Region**
- The shaded area is the sector minus the triangle:
\[
A_{\text{shaded}} = A_{\text{sector}} - A_{\triangle ABC}
\]
\[
= 12\pi k^2 - 36k^2
\]
\[
= 36k^2 (\pi - 1)
\]
Thus, the area of the shaded region is:
\[
\boxed{36k^2 (\pi - 1)}
\]

        The solution in the post by  @CPhill is  INCORRECT.

        I came to bring a correct solution.


We should take the area of the sector ABC and subtract from it the area of triangle ABD.


The area of the sector ABC is 1/12 of the area of the circle

    area of the sector ABC is  %281%2F12%29%2Api%2Ar%5E2 = %281%2F12%29%2Api%2A%2812k%29%5E2 = 12k%5E2%2Api.    (1)


Triangle ABD has the angle B = 30°.

So, its leg AD is  12k/2 = 6k long;

        leg BD is  6k%2Asqrt%283%29.


The area of triangle ABD is half the product of the legs

    area ABD = %281%2F2%29%2A%286k%29%2A%286k%2Asqrt%283%29%29 = 18k%5E2%2Asqrt%283%29.    (2)


Thus the area of the shaded region is the difference (1) minus (2)

    area of the shaded region is  12k%2A2%2Api+-+18k%5E2%2Asqrt%283%29 = 6k%5E2%2A%282pi+-+3%2Asqrt%283%29%29,


or approximately  1.087%2A6k%5E2 = 6.522k%5E2.   

Solved.

                Regarding the post by @CPhill . . .


Keep in mind that @CPhill is a pseudonym for the Google artificial intelligence.

The artificial intelligence is like a baby now. It is in the experimental stage
of development and can make mistakes and produce nonsense without any embarrassment.


                It has no feeling of shame - it is shameless.


This time, again,  it made an error.


Although the @CPhill' solution are copy-paste  Google  AI solutions,  there is one essential difference.

Every time,  Google  AI  makes a note at the end of its solutions that  Google  AI  is experimental
and can make errors/mistakes.

All @CPhill' solutions are copy-paste of  Google  AI  solutions, with one difference:
@PChill never makes this notice and never says that his solutions are copy-past that of Google.
So, he NEVER SAYS TRUTH.

Every time,  @CPhill embarrassed to tell the truth.
But I am not embarrassing to tell the truth,  as it is my duty at this forum.


And the last my comment.

When you obtain such posts from @CPhill,  remember,  that  NOBODY  is responsible for their correctness,
until the specialists and experts will check and confirm their correctness.

Without it,  their reliability is  ZERO and their creadability is  ZERO,  too.


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


I reviewed many geometric problems,  where @CPhill  (= artificial intelligence)  produced wrong solutions.

My resume from my reviews to these solutions is that this  AI  in its current version
is  MENTALLY  BLIND  regarding  Geometry problems.
