Answer 6

Bisect each angle in the triangle, and you'll get 3 smaller isosceles triangles, each with 2 sides of length 6" and an angle of 120\(^o\), or \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\) radians between them. That new triangle is very key to finding the area of the segment. Hint: Find the area of the triangle, and of the sector!
