Question

determine the area of the segment of a circle if the length of the chord is 15 inches

Answer 1

jian using the formula
(theta/360)* pi * 2(radius) =length of cord....
you could get the values of theta and radius of the circle....( in the terms of each other)

and then u could use those values in finding the area of the triangle formed by radius and the cord and then minus it from the area of the sector...:D

and formula for area of sector = (theta/360)pi (radius)^2
