WTF happened to my brain?<\/p>\n
So, last night, And I tried to integrate. Clearly I’m a moron. That is so unneccesary. <\/p>\n Consider the triangle formed by the center of the larger circle and the points of intersection of the smaller circle, it has two sides of length R, and one side of length 2r. So we know that the angle formed by the two R sides is 2 x arcsin(r\/R). If we multiply the fraction of that angle out of the full circle (360, 2*pi, whatever, take your pick) by the area of the large circle (pi*R^2), you get the area of the wedge, subtract from that the area of the 2r,R,R triangle, (r*sqrt(R^2-r^2)) and you have the area of the circular end of the wedge. Subtract that from half the area of the small circle (pi*r^2\/2) and you have the area of the lune. Duh.<\/p>\n Spelled out: pi*r^2\/2 – (2*arcsin(r\/R)*pi*R^2)\/(2*pi) + r*sqrt(R^2-r^2) Stupid math problem. Grrr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WTF happened to my brain?

Say you have two circles, of radii R and r, such that R > r.
