Find the area of a segment of a circle whose diameter is 16 cm and central angle measures 80 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula to find the area of a sector is: pi*r^2*(×°/360°) Pi=3.14 R= half the diameter= 8cm X°= 80° Plug these values into the formula 3.14*8^2*(80/360)=44.7cm^2

wrong.. you need to appreciate the value of the area of the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is an area of a sector problem, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

segment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's no such thing as an area of a segment. Do you mean the length of a segment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is. it is stated in my book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. I apologize. Is there a formula in the book?

OpenStudy (lurker):

xD hehe 'segment of a line' and 'segment of a circle area'

OpenStudy (lurker):

The first solution is right you are trying to find this |dw:1452156593306:dw|
