By Art. 5, arc XnA = OX × 0, where is expressed in radians. Hence, using r for the radius and S for the area of sector,

S = r20.

Evidently the area of the segment XAn = S - area of triangle XOA. But area of triangle XOA= }0X.BA = } 0X . 04 sin 0 = r2 sin 0. Hence, using G for area of segment,

As an exercise the student may later show that this formula holds when is an obtuse angle. Also when π < 0 < 2π. (See Art. 51.)

Note. These formulas would seldom be used in practice. An approximate formula would be more convenient, or the length would be measured with a tape line.

A rule often given for finding the length of an uncrossed belt is: Add twice the distance between the centers of the shafts to half the sum of the circumferences of the two pulleys.
