In the figure shown, and are line segments each of length 2, and . Arcs and are each one-sixth of a circle with radius 2. What is the area of the region shown?
Solution
Let the centers of the circles containing arcs and be and , respectively. Extend and to and , and connect point with point . We can clearly see that is an equilateral triangle, because the problem states that . We can figure out that and because they are of a circle. The area of the figure is equal to minus the combined area of the sectors of the circles(in red). Using the area formula for an equilateral triangle, where is the side length of the equilateral triangle, is The combined area of the sectors is , which is Thus, our final answer is
