The annulus

The area of an annulus can be found as the subtraction of the area of the biggest circle (radius R) minus the minor circle (radius r).

Using proportions we will find the area of a circular trapezoid, like the one in blue in the following figure:

To find the area of a circular segment like the one that can be seen in the next figure, it is enough to subtract the area of the triangle AOB and the area of the annulus.
