Math puzzle.

θ an angle in radians
b is a length associated with θ
there is a circle

What area is A=[θbb]/[8sin(θ/2)sin(θ/2)] ?

@futurebird
the numerator is clearly the area of a portion of pizza. The denominator is a trap to keep the unwary confused and befuddled while ants steal the pizza.

@futurebird Let's see: if b is a chord subtended by angle \theta, then b/2 = r sin(\theta/2), so the fraction simplifies to \theta r^2/2, which is the area of the sector subtended by \theta.
