Question
Given a circle with a radius of 50.75", and a segment of that circle has an area of 3000 sqin.
What is the height of the segment.
What is the central angle?
What you are gives is r = 50.75, the radius of a circle.
The total area of a circle is given by A = πrē.
What you do with the value of A you get is to take 3000/A.
This will give you what fraction of the circle that area can cover.
The total angle in the circle is 2π radians.
Take 2πF and you get the total angle out of a circle.

| Comment | He did not answer the question that I was asking. The segment of a circle is a piece of a circle. He gave me info for the whole circle. Not even close to what I was asking. | ||
