Area of Segments and Sectors

This video tutorial covers the calculation of areas for circles, sectors, and segments. It begins with a review of the formula for the area of a circle, which is pi times the radius squared. The video then explains how a sector is a fraction of a circle, determined by the arc's measure relative to the full circle. The area of a sector is calculated by multiplying this fraction by the circle's area. Next, the concept of a segment is introduced, defined as the area formed by a chord and an arc. The segment's area is found by subtracting the area of a triangle from the sector's area. The video concludes with a promise of examples to solidify understanding.
