Circular measure — practice question

The diagram depicts a square $ABCD$ with each side measuring $12\ \text{cm}$. The points $E$ and $F$ are located on the sides $BC$ and $CD$ respectively, and satisfy $BE = \frac{1}{3}BC$ and $DF = \frac{1}{3}DC$. The arc $EF$ is a segment of a circle centred at $A$. The shaded region is enclosed by the arc $EF$ and the line segments $EC$ and $FC$.
