find the area of the minor segment of a circle whose radius is 8 and has a central angle of 60. Use π =3.14 and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
\n" ); document.write( "area of minor segment = area of sector - area of triangle formed at center(1)
\n" ); document.write( "area of sector with center angle 60 degree =center angle x (pie r^2)/360
\n" ); document.write( " =60 x3.14 x8 x8/360
\n" ); document.write( " =3.14 x64/6 =33.4933
\n" ); document.write( "area of triage formed at center = r^2 sin(center angle) /2
\n" ); document.write( " =8^2 sin 60/2
\n" ); document.write( " =64 x sqrt3/4 =16 sqrt3=16 x1.7320=27.7128
\n" ); document.write( " area of minor segment = area of sector - area of triangle formed at center
\n" ); document.write( " =33.4933-27.7128 =5.7805
\n" ); document.write( "Answer
\n" ); document.write( "Area of minor segment = 5.7805\r
