given:

chord of this circle subtends an angle of measure at the centre
Find the of the formed by this chord
To find the area of a (slice of cake) think of it as a sector minus a triangle with vertices at the centre of the circle and at the end points of the chord.
Let the angle of the triangle at the centre of the circle be
degrees. Then the area of the sector is:
