I couldn't attach it, but I think it's still possible to solve without it.

 

If you need the description, here it is:

 

It's a circle with center O and B and A are two points on the edge of the circle (B comes before A when clockwise).

The area of the segment is 6*pi - 12.

Oh wait, never mind, I think I know how to solve it. 

 

The circular segment is equal to the area of the region \(ABO-\triangle{ABO}\)

 

We know the circular region's area is \({30 \over360} \times 36\pi =3\pi\)

 

\(\triangle{ABO}\) is isosceles, with degrees of 30, 70, 70, and 2 sides with 6. Using trig, we find that the area of the triangle is 9. 

 

Thus, the area of the circular region is: \(\color{brown}\boxed{3\pi - 9}\)
