p^2(4pi – 3sqrt3) / 96
As usual, correct 🙂 A full solution to this one is on the site somewhere… https://solvemymaths.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/img_20140703_173637.jpg
How do you know that the sector is 1/6 of the original circle??
Nevermind, just realised its an equilateral triangle
Hmmmm, not sure where I went wrong, but I got p^2(sqrt(3) + 2pi)/96… assuming an error in calculating the circular segment as I’m not super familiar with that algorithm
