[That's what the θ/360° in the area formula θ/360° x πr² or the arc length formula θ/360° x 2πr means]
For the big sector, its area is 144°/360° times π(5 + x)², or simply put, 2/5 times π(5 + x)².
For the small sector, its area is 144°/360° times π(5)², or simply put, 2/5 times π(5)²,
Their difference in areas give the shaded region of area 30π.
So, we have
2/5 times π(5 + x)² - 2/5 times π(5)² = 30π
Dividing all sides by 2/5,
π(5 + x)² - π(5)² = 30π / (2/5)
π(25 + 5x + 5x + x²) - 25π = 75π
π(25 + 10x + x²) = 100π
25 + 10x + x² = 100
x² + 10x - 75 = 0
(x + 15) (x - 5) = 0
x + 15 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x = -15 or x = 5
Of course, x is a length which much be positive in value, so x = 5.
