Solution:

The perimeter of the shaded region is KO + OL + arc KL.

KO and OL are both radii of the circle, and arc KL is 1/3 of the circumference of the circle since 120 degrees is 1/3 of 360 degrees.

Since the area of the circle is 144π, the radius of the circle is 12, and hence the circumference of the circle is 2 x π x 12 = 24π. Therefore, the perimeter of the shaded region is:

12 + 12 + 1/3 x 24π = 24 + 8π
