Remember the following formulae:
Area of sector = x r2 x /360
Area of triangle = ½ a b sinC
We use these formulae to find the area of a segment.
Example
If R = 20 cm and = 60º,
the area of the sector = x 20 x 20 x 60 ÷ 360 = 209.44
the area of the triangle = ½ x 20 x 20 x sin 60º = 173.21
So the area of the segment = 209.44 - 173.21 = 36.23 cm2
Give all answers to 2 decimal places in this worksheet.
