The area of a sector and a triangle 2006-06-23
From Howard:
I thought of the following problem which is similar but much simpler than the tethered goat problem: What is the angle(it is more illustrative in degrees)of arc of a unit circle so that the area between the chord it subtends and the arc length is equal to the area of the triangle with opposite side the subtended chord.
Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.
