A semicircle has a center at X and diameter WZ. The radius XY of the semicircle has a length of 2. The chord YZ has a length of 2. What is the area shaded sector formed by angle WXY
, it is important to recognize that the point (x,y) in the first quadrant represents any
point on the semicircle. In Figure 2, the same semicircle is shown with the inscribed rectangle drawn for
three different values of x.
