http://prntscr.com/aoy6p0 This confuses me like crazy. I never understood and still don't understand how to do these problems.
what!!!
find the area of the larger segment?
Yes
oh they don't mean line segment
i was worried there for a sec
since you cannot find an area of a line segment :p
it says you already found the area of the smaller segment? what was that area that you found?
|dw:1459966222754:dw| so let's say this is our picture
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
Okay
This gives the formula http://www.mathopenref.com/segmentarea.html but I assume you know this ?
I knew about the Formula but i just don't know how to use it
Can you find the area of the circle? pi r^2
the "big segment" I guess is the area |dw:1459966792689:dw|
