Answer: 9.42 inches, 3π in terms of pi
Explanation:
A full circle is 360 degrees, so if the segment has an arc of 120 degrees, it is 1/3 of a regular circle.
To find the area of a circle, we use the equation A = πr^2. In this case, we will divide the equation by 3 because we are only finding 1/ of a circle. So, our equation will be A = (πr^2)/3.
Using 3.14 for π:
A = (πr^2)/3.
A = (π3^2)/3
A = (π9)/3
A = 3π
A = 9.42
