To find the area of a segment in a circle, you need to know two main things: the radius of the circle and the angle of the segment. The angle can be measured in degrees or radians.

Here’s a simple guide to help you step-by-step:

1. Find the Area of the Sector:
   First, calculate the area of the sector. Use this formula if you have the angle in degrees:
   [ \text{Area of Sector} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2 ]
   If the angle is in radians, use this formula instead:
   [ \text{Area of Sector} = \frac{r^2 \theta}{2} ]

2. Calculate the Area of the Triangle:
   Next, find the area of the triangle that is formed by the two radii and the line connecting them. Use this formula:
   [ \text{Area of Triangle} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin(\theta) ]

3. Find the Area of the Segment:
   Finally, to find the area of the segment, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the sector:
   [ \text{Area of Segment} = \text{Area of Sector} - \text{Area of Triangle} ]

And that’s it! Just plug in your numbers, and you’ll have the area of the segment in no time.
