Find the area of the shaded regions. Round all answers to the nearest 10th.

## Calculate the Area of the Shaded Segments
### Instructions:
For each of the following circles, find the area of the shaded segment. Leave your answers in terms of \(\pi\).

### Problems:

1. **Problem 10:**
   - Diagram: A circle with a radius of 2 units. A sector is shaded, with the central angle forming a right angle (90 degrees).
   
2. **Problem 11:**
   - Diagram: A circle with a radius of 4 units. A sector is shaded, with the central angle measuring 120 degrees.
   
3. **Problem 12:**
   - Diagram: A circle with a radius of 1 unit. A sector is shaded, with the central angle measuring 60 degrees.

### Explanation of Diagrams:
- **Problem 10:** The shaded area is a quarter circle, as indicated by the 90-degree central angle. The radius of the circle is 2 units.
- **Problem 11:** The shaded area corresponds to a sector of the circle with a central angle of 120 degrees. The radius of this circle is 4 units.
- **Problem 12:** The shaded segment is a sector with a central angle of 60 degrees. The radius of the circle is 1 unit.

Use the formula for the area of a sector, \(\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2\), where \(\theta\) is the central angle in degrees and \(r\) is the radius of the circle, to find the areas of the shaded segments.

For each problem, calculate the sector area using the provided angles and radii.
