2𝝅r = perimeter of a circle
2𝝅r (degree of angle ÷ 360) = length of an arc
a2 + b2 = c2 (pythagorean theorem)
a x b ÷ 2 = area of a right triangle
𝝅r2 = area of a circle
Create a line in the triangle from the angle opposite the longest side (hypotenuse) to the hypotenuse so that it forms two right triangles. Then use the equation to find the area of each right triangle and add them together.
