Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Radius (r) = 8 inches

Chord = 8 inches

Since, length of radii and chord are equal. Thus the Triangle so formed by radii and chord will be an equilateral triangle.


\implies angle subtended at the centre of the circle
(\theta)=60\degree

Formula for area of segment of a circle is given as:


A = \frac{ {r}^(2) \theta }{36 0 \degree} \pi - (1)/(2) {r}^(2) \sin \theta \\ \\ \implies \: A = \frac{ {(8)}^(2) ( \cancel{60 \degree)}}{ \cancel{360 \degree}} \pi - (1)/(2) {(8)}^(2) \sin 60\degree \\ \\ \implies \: A = \frac {64 }{6} \pi - (1)/(2) * 64 * ( √(3) )/(2) \\ \\ \implies \: \huge \purple{ \boxed{A = \bigg( \frac {32 }{3} \pi - 16 √(3)\bigg) }\: sq\:in}
