PLEASE HELP! MEDAL WILL DEFINIETLY BE GIVEN!! Express answer in exact form. Find the area of the larger segment whose chord is 8" long in a circle with an 8" radius. (Hint: A chord divides a circle into two segments. In problem 1, you found the area of the smaller segment.)
In problem 1 the smaller segment was-->\[A=(32/3 \pi - 16 sq rt 3) inches ^2\]
|dw:1384649774004:dw|
Oh, then subtract the smaller segment area from the area of the entire circle to get the area of the larger segment.
What's the area of the entire circle
Area of a circle = pi(r^2) r = 8 Area = pi(8^2) = 64pi
So the answer would be...
Area of the larger segment = Area of circle - Area of smaller segment = 64pi - [ (32/3)(pi) - 16sqrt(3) ] Just simplify the above.
Ohhh otay :j
Thank you soo much!!! If I needed some more help would you help me please?
