The area of the bit of the circle left will be area of the whole circle less the area of the cut out sector. The formulae for the area of a sector (in degrees) is given by

$$A_s = \dfrac{\theta}{360} \pi r^2$$

In this case $$\theta$$ is the angle of the sector (i.e. the missing piece in your example)

the answer is 462...do you agree?

I get B as my answer (although the question could stand to be clearer about whether or not it wants the area of the cut out sector or the area of "pacman" - the bit that's left).

How did you arrive at 462 (which is the area of the sector)? Don't forget that's just the area of the sector - you need to subtract this from the area of the whole
