\n" ); document.write( "use the diagonal AC to visualize two right triangles, each one has shaded segments of a circle
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "the shaded region is cut by diagonal into two equal portions \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "find the area of the one portion and double it\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Capture11-29-2021-5-50-54-PM\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "area of \"%281%2F2%29\" of shaded region= \"%281%2F4%29\" area of the circle minus area of the triangle\r
