A security light mounted above a house illuminates part of a circular region defined by
and
.
The area of a sector of a circle with radius and central angle
is
.
Where is measured in radians.
The total area of the region is approximately .
The area of the region described is the difference of the areas of two sectors.
Both sectors have an angle measure of .
By solving ,we get
.
The larger radius is and the smaller radius is
.
Calculate the by substituting the values of
and
.
The total area of the region is approximately .
Substitute this value in for in the equation above and solve for
.
Since is not in negative, it is not considered.
Therefore, the value of is
.
The value of is
.
