  • Computer anxiety can be pretty awful. I’m in a long distance relationship as well, and when my partner’s laptop broke (charger port issue) we were stuck communicating only through their phone. For a couple that likes to remotely play games together and watch media together, this is a huge roadblock.

    We ended up utilizing a (used) chromebook as a temporary solution until we were able to regain access to the laptop after repairs.

    (1/2)×θ×r^2

    is the area of a circle sector, like a slice of pie.

    (1/2)×sin(θ)×side1×side2

    is the side-angle-side formula for the area of a triangle.

    We know that the triangle encompassed by the sector has two sides that are equal to the radius, so we replace side1×side2 with r^2. Since the area of the arc segment is equal to the area of a sector minus the triangle, we can subtract triangle area from sector area to get

    (1/2)×(θ-sin(θ))×r^2

    which is the area of the arc segment, as shown with pie in the picture.
