Figure Segment of a Circle

In geometry, a circular segment also circle segment. It is an area of a circle informally defined as an area which is "cut off" from the rest of the circle by a secant or a chord. The circle segment constitutes the part between the secant and an arc, excluding the circle's center.It is shown in figure bellow.

Understanding Circle Formulas is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out. 

Example of figure segment of a circle:



Example 1
Radius of the circle is 15 cm, angle of the Segment of a circle is 45 degree. Find the area of the Segment of a circle is shown in figure.
Circle segment

Solution:
Area of the circle = `1/2` r2`theta` - sin `theta`
                            = `1/2` r2( `pi/180` *`theta` - sin `theta`)                       
                             =0.5*152(`pi/180` *45-(sin 45))
                             =112.5(0.785-0.7071)
   Area of the Segment of a circle=8.77 cm2

Example 2
          Radius of the circle is 10 cm, angle of the Segment of a circle is 55 degree. Find the area of the Segment of a circle is shown in figure.

Solution:
Area of the circle = `1/2` r2`theta` - sin `theta`
                            = `1/2` r2( `pi/180` *`theta` - sin `theta`)                       
                             =0.5*102(`pi/180` *50-(sin 50))
                             =50(0.873-0.766)
   Area of the Segment of a circle=5.53 cm2

Example 3
Radius of the circle is 15 cm, angle of the Segment of a circle is 85 degree. Find the area of the Segment of a circle is shown in figure.
Circle segment
Solution:
Area of the circle = `1/2` r2`theta` - sin `theta`
                            = `1/2` r2( `pi/180` *`theta` - sin `theta`)                       
                             =0.5*152(`pi/180` *85-(sin 85))
                             =112.5(1.484-0.996)
   Area of the Segment of a circle=54.9 cm2

Example 4
Radius of the circle is 15 cm, angle of the Segment of a circle is 105 degree. Find the area of the Segment of a circle is shown in figure.
Solution:
Area of the circle = `1/2` r2`theta` - sin `theta`
                            = `1/2` r2( `pi/180` *`theta` - sin `theta`)                       
                             =0.5*152(`pi/180` *105-(sin 105))
                             =112.5(1.833-0.9659)
   Area of the Segment of a circle= 97.54 cm2

Example 5
Radius of the circle is 15 cm, angle of the Segment of a circle is 110 degree. Find the area of the Segment of a circle is shown in figure.

Solution:
Area of the circle = `1/2` r2`theta` - sin `theta`
                            = `1/2` r2( `pi/180` *`theta` - sin `theta`)                       
                             =0.5*152(`pi/180` *110-(sin 110))
                             =112.5(1.92-0.9396)
Area of the Segment of a circle=110.29 cm2
