To find the area of a segment, we subtract the area of a triangle from the area of a sector.
I understand this, but when i try this i get a certain answer, and the answer i am supposed to give should be written as: $$A=(__\pi-_√_)inches^2$$

The area of the segment = $$\frac{ 1 }{ 6 } * \pi * 3^{2} - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ 4 } * 3 ^{2}    $$
