    did similar way, but had to do more steps at the beginning :D

    once we get Theta = Pi / 6 and r = sqrt(3), what I did was...

    found CE = DC . Sin(Theta) = 1
    So area of DCE = 1/2 . r . 1 = sqrt(3) / 2

    Area of sector = Theta. r . r / 2 = (Pi /6). (3 / 2) = Pi / 4

    So the answer is (sqrt(3) / 2) - (Pi / 4)

    It's encouraging to know that there are a few people who really think.... :yes:
    For me, the beauty of this problem is not in the actual problem (thought process) , but the in the calculation. :yes:

    Correct! Initially you wouldn't think that the lengths given will simplify. :yes:
    That's why I replied much earler..... "Yes.. But do the calculation... It's interesting."
