    MHB What is the area of a segment bounded by a chord and an arc in a circle?

    Ok, sorry for my confusion. The triangle I was referring to is triangle OCD, which needs to be subtracted from the segment of the circle OCD to get the answer I am looking for. Thanks for your help, I am just not getting this, it's all way over my head.

    MHB What is the area of a segment bounded by a chord and an arc in a circle?

    Honestly, I am having enough trouble figuring out the geometry without also trying to figure out how to use the proper html or coding process for this site. My brain is thoroughly taxed trying to figure out this problem without trying to tack on new things to learn. You knew what I meant by...

    MHB What is the area of a segment bounded by a chord and an arc in a circle?

    I am getting the radius as 6rad6. using this I can find the area of the circle, and the segment is 1/3rd the area of the circle. I then need to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the segment. I am struggling with finding the area of the triangle. The formula I know is A=1/2bh. My...

    MHB What is the area of a segment bounded by a chord and an arc in a circle?

    This one is kicking my butt. In a circle, find the exact area of a segment bounded by chord $$\overline{CD}$$ and $$\stackrel{\frown}{CD}$$. $$\overline{CD}=12\sqrt{3}$$ and the $$\measuredangle \stackrel{\frown}{CD}=120^{\circ}$$.
