Area of Sectors and Segments

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of sectors and segments in circles. It provides two examples: one for finding the area of a sector with a 60° central angle and another for determining the area of a segment by subtracting the area of a triangle from the sector. The tutorial uses mathematical formulas and special right triangle properties to solve these problems, emphasizing the importance of understanding circle geometry.
