Answer: 3.32276 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
area of total sector=(pi*r^2)/360
=2^2 * 120pi /360
=4*120/360 * pi
=4.1887902
area of the triangle=(1/2)*base*height
the height is 1 (because you can divide the triangle down the middle to make a 30 60 90 triangle, and the sin(30)=x/2, so 2sin(30)=x, x=(1/2)*2
the base is equal to [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] because the base of the 30 60 90 triangle is 2sin(60), and sin60 is [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/2, so you have to double that to get the area of the 120 degree triangle.
the area of the triangle is (1/2)*1*[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]=[tex]\sqrt{3} /2[/tex]=0.866025
so the difference is 4.1887902-0.866025
=3.32276 units squared
