Doing extra credit work online, lesson video was less than a minute long and explained fuck all. could one of you lads explain to me what im supposed to be doing here?

You have to find the area of the shaded region.

ah thanks la' didnt see that bit.

would like a real response from someone if im being honest

find area of circle, subtract area of sector, add back in area of triangle. done
>>
Ten seconds of Google gave the formula for the area of a segment.

wew lad. You're just supposed to find the area of the blue stuff, which is the area of the triangle plus the area of the rest. You already have 4 out of 6 pieces of info on the triangle, so you solve it first and now you just have to find the area of the other stuff.

Make the center of the circle (0,0) and use the known radius to calculate a parabola that represents half of the circle, then use definite integration to know the area between that parabola and the x axis. Now you only have 2 unknown regions that are neither the triangle nor the half-circle. These are perfect slices of a circle of known radius, and since you know that there's already 130 degrees + 180 degrees covered, each slice is half of what's left and you can directly know their areas. Or you could do it like that from the beginning if you want to.

Area of Circle - Area of segment (white part)

Dunno if you figured it out yet, but here's an easy way to look at it:

1) If the angle was 180 degrees, you'd know it cut the circle in half. If it was 90 degrees, you'd know the piece of circle cut out by the angle's 2 short sides would be 1/4th the entire circle. So it makes sense that the triangle PLUS the white region is Area x (13/36).

2) The next part is figuring out the length of the triangle side opposite the angle. Well, sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, right? You have an angle of 130, but if you imagine a line bisecting the triangle in half, you now have one half-triangle (another triangle!) with an angle of 65. And sin(65) = A / 11.1, where "A" is one-half your chord length. Do the same with the cosine function to get the height of this mini-triangle "B", then multiply A and B. (A rectangle with dimensions AxB has the same area as your two mini-triangles)

3) Now that you know the area of the triangle, AND how to find a proportion of the circle's area, you're all set.
