Answer:

Area of Segment = 3.26 in² (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Radius (r) = 6 in

Angle (θ) = 60°

Find:

Area of segment

Computation:

Area of Segment = (θ/360)πr² − (1/2)r²sin(θ)

Area of Segment = (60/360)(22/7)(6)² − (1/2)(6)²sin(60)

Area of Segment = (1/6)(22/7)(36) - (0.5)(36)sin(60)

Area of Segment = 18.8571429 - 15.5884573

Area of Segment = 3.2686856

Area of Segment = 3.26 in² (Approx)
