Answer
$0.69 \ square \ inches$
Work Step by Step
The Area of sector $K_1$ can be determined by the formula:
$K_1=\dfrac{\theta}{360}\cdot \pi \cdot r^2$, where $\theta$ is in degrees
So, $K_1=\dfrac{40}{360} \ (\pi) (5^2) \approx 8.73$
The area of a triangle $K_2$ with sides $a,b$ and $c$ is given by:
$K_2=\dfrac{1}{2} ab\ \sin(C)$
So, $K_2=\dfrac{(5)(5) \ \sin(40^{\circ})}{2}\approx 8.04 $
Therefore, the area of the segment is the difference between the areas of the sector and triangle:
$K_1-K_2=8.73-8.04=0.69 \ square \ inches$
