9. As shown in Figure are two circles with equal radii, intersecting at points . If the area of the shaded region in the figure is equal to of the area of , find the size of (accurate to ).
Solution
From the problem, we know that the area of the figure to the right of chord is of the area of .
Let have a radius of , and take any point on the shaded circumference of , different from points and . Then,
Using a TI graphing calculator to solve the equation, we get (radians).
