Homework Statement
The diagram shows a semicircle APB on AB as diameter. The midpoint of AB is O. The point P on the semicircle is such that the area of the sector POB is equal to twice the area of the shade segment. Given that angle POB is \theta radians, show that
3\theta = 2(\pi-sin\theta)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
using formula
Area of circle = \frac{1}{2}r2\theta
and
Area of segment = \frac{1}{2}r2 (\theta - sin \theta )
heres the problems

questions 4
the the angle of the segment is \pi-\theta
there I am clueless even i inserted the info i have
what i really get is
\theta=2[\pi-\theta-sin(\pi-\theta)]
of course we can't use formula blindly so anyone can help me there
