### Question:

**Which is closest to the area of the shaded region of the circle?**

![Diagram of a circle with a shaded sector]

- The circle has a sector that is shaded.
- The central angle of the shaded sector is 72 degrees.
- The radius of the circle is 8 cm.

### Answer Choices:
- a) 10.1 cm²
- b) 50.3 cm²
- c) 160.8 cm²
- d) 98.4 cm²
- e) 40.2 cm²

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram shows a circle with a radius of 8 cm. A sector of the circle is shaded, representing a central angle of 72 degrees.

### Calculation Steps:

To find the area of the shaded region (sector) of the circle, follow these steps:

1. **Area of the Entire Circle**: Use the formula \( A = \pi r^2 \).
   \[
   A = \pi \times (8 \text{ cm})^2 = 64\pi \text{ cm}^2
   \]
   
2. **Proportion of the Circle Represented by the Shaded Sector**: The proportion is the fraction of the circle's 360 degrees that the sector represents.
   \[
   \frac{72^\circ}{360^\circ} = \frac{1}{5}
   \]

3. **Area of the Shaded Sector**: Multiply the area of the entire circle by the proportion of the circle that is shaded.
   \[
   \text{Area of Shaded Sector} = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right) \times 64\pi \text{ cm}^2 \approx 40.2 \text{ cm}^2
   \]

### Conclusion:

The area closest to the shaded region of the circle is:

- **e) 40.2 cm²**
