Minor arc AB in the diagram is 30 degrees and the radius of the circle is 8. Find the area of circular segment AB.
Area = pi * r^2 * (30/360) =
pi * 8^2 * 1/12 =
64/12 * pi =
16/3 pi ≈ 16.76 ( units squared )
Only CPhill can solve such a "difficult" problem and ... make an error.
Area of a circular segment ... NOT the sector!!!
