Circle C is shown. Line segments A C and B C are radii. A line is drawn from point D on line A C to point E on line C B to form a line segment with length 5. The area above the line with length 5 is shaded. The length of D C is 3. Point F is on the outside of the shaded area.
The radius of circle C is 6 units and the measure of central angle ACB is StartFraction pi Over 2 EndFraction radians.

Entire circle area = π(6^2) = 36π ≈ 113.10 square units.

Sector area (θ = π/2) = (1/2)r^2θ = (1/2)(36)(π/2) = 9π ≈ 28.27 square units.

Shaded area = sector area − area of triangle CDE. D(3,0), E(0,4) give a 3-4-5 right triangle with area 1/2·3·4 = 6. So shaded = 9π − 6 ≈ 22.27 square units.
