In a circle chord AC has a length of 6 If the length of arc ABC is equal to one-sixth of the circumference of the circle what is the area of the circle?
The triangle ABC is an equallateral triangle since angle ABC is one sixth of 360 degress of the circle and the angles BAC and BCA are equal of the remaining 180-60=120 degrees. With radius BC (or BA) being 6; the areaof the circle is pi (r)squared; 36 piArea of the circle is 36piMalcolm Lowe
