\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the area of the circle can be found by the formula \"A+=r%5E2+%28pi%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "radius \"r=6+cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "what you are looking for is only the portion which covers the central angle of \"120\" degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "An entire circle is \"360\" degrees, so the area that you want is \"120%2F360=1%2F3\" of the entire circle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, it is \"A=%281%2F3%29r%5E2%28pi%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"A=%281%2F3%29%286cm%29%5E2%283.14%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"A=%281%2F3%2936cm%5E2%283.14%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%281%2Fcross%283%29%29cross%2836%2912cm%5E2%283.14%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=+12cm%5E2%283.14%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=+37.68cm%5E2\"
