Question

Find the area of the segment of a circle cut off by the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

is the right angle of the triangle at the center of the circle?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

so you agree then that the radius of the circle is 8 and the area of the whole circle is pi*(radius)^2=64pi... agreed?

Answer 4

agreed

Answer 5

so the area of just the sector is 1/4 of the circle: 64pi * (1/4) = 16pi.... still with me?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

and the area of the triangle is 32...
