find the area of one segment formed by a square with sides of 6" inscribed in a circle.

1 answer

Area of square = 6² in² = 36 in²

radius of circle
r = (1/2)square diagonal
= (1/2)√(6²+6²)
= (1/2)√(72)
= √(18)

Area of circle = πr²
= 18π

Area of one of the 4 sectments
= (Area of circle - area of square)/4
