how to calculate the area of a segment in matlab

To calculate the area of a segment in Matlab, you can use the following code:

main.m
% Define the radius and angle of the segment
r = 5;
theta = pi/3;

% Calculate the area of the segment
area = (r^2/2) * (theta - sin(theta));

In this code, r is the radius of the circle, and theta is the angle in radians of the segment. The formula used to calculate the area of the segment is (r^2/2) * (theta - sin(theta)).

This formula works for any segment of a circle, not just a full circle. To use this code for a full circle, set theta to 2*pi.
