OpenStudy (freckles):

OpenStudy (freckles):

find the area of the larger segment?

OpenStudy (mythorius):

Yes

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh they don't mean line segment

OpenStudy (freckles):

i was worried there for a sec

OpenStudy (freckles):

since you cannot find an area of a line segment :p

OpenStudy (freckles):

|dw:1459966222754:dw| so let's say this is our picture

OpenStudy (freckles):

I'm assuming what you got for the smaller area is correct... if that is so.. all you need to do is find the area of the larger circle and subtract from it that small area you found

OpenStudy (mythorius):

Okay

OpenStudy (phi):

This gives the formula http://www.mathopenref.com/segmentarea.html but I assume you know this ?

OpenStudy (mythorius):

I knew about the Formula but i just don't know how to use it

OpenStudy (phi):

Can you find the area of the circle? pi r^2

OpenStudy (phi):

the "big segment" I guess is the area |dw:1459966792689:dw|
