A chord of length 4cm divides a circle of radius 3.3cm into two segments. Find the area of each segment.
I've managed to workout the area of one of the segments (approx 1.84 cm^2). This is the correct solution given in my answer booklet.
The second segment area would therefore be 2*pi*(3.3)^2 - 1.84 = 66.58 cm^2.
But my answer booklet says its: 32.38 cm^2.
Can someone point me in the right direction on this one because I'm completely lost.
Thanks.
Oops, I've just realized.. wrong equation for the area of a circle. Don't bother with this question.
