I guess you need to find the area of sectors of circle...
sectors of circle are similar to "pizza pie slices" of a circle...:-)...
the area of semi-circle....(half of circle = half of area)

A=%281%2F2%29%28pi%29r%5E2
the area of quarter-circle.....(1/4 of circle = 1/4 of area)
A=%281%2F4%29%28pi%29r%5E2
the area of any sector.........(fractional part of the area)

A=%28n%2F360%29%28pi%29r%5E2..........where n is the number of degrees in the central angle of the sector
