Answer 1

Not sure how to set this up to solve

Answer 2

Answer 3

find the area of the sector as fraction of the circle
60/360 (pi r^2) =

find the area of the shaded triangle sides R third side 2R sin (60/2)
this will give all you need by addition subtraction

Answer 4

Thank you i will try this!

Answer 5

So you would do,
60/360=
0.17
3.14*6^2=113.04*0.17=19.2

did i get any of that right? haha

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

ok i dont understand what to do from here

Answer 8

well that is the sector area
take away the triangle in that sector it
will leave the unshaded part which is what you want

Answer 9

Ohhhh ok i see...
But i have 19.2...and take 60 away from that and you get a negative.
i must be missing something

Answer 10

where do you get 60 ?
draw a triangle radius 6 angle 60
and measure 1/2 base times height ===3(5) =15

Answer 11

ok well i know the base is 6...but i dont know hight...wow i am so sorry..to be this much trouble. i know how to do 1/2 base times height..but where are you getting 3 and five?

Answer 12

I just drew it to be quick
but you can work it out from the angle 60
I just want you to see the steps to work it out
in fact you can possibly get the segment area straight from some book
but this is how it will be worked
