(Integral Calculus can alternatively  be used to find the value of (s_1 /s_2 ).)  Draw a circle with diameter length d and   centre Q. A diameter of the circle normally  cuts a chord AB on the circle such that  d is partitioned in the ratio 1:3. Let  LF  be such a diameter and D be the   point of intersection of the chord AB  and diameter LF. We thus have   ∣LD∣=3a and ∣DF∣=a (a>0) so that DF:LD=1:3.  Therefore, d=3a+a=4a⇒ radius r=2a.  Complete the isosceles triangle △AQB  and let ∠AQB=θ. The area A_(1 ) of the sector AB  of the circle is then   A_1 =(1/2)r^2 θ=(1/2)×4a^2 θ=2a^2 θ.  The area of △AQB,denoted by A_2 , is given by  A_2 =(1/2)2a×2a×sinθ=2a^2 sinθ.  Now, let s_1  be the area between the chord  AB and the arc AB.   ⇒s_1 =A_1 −A_2 =2a^2 (θ−sinθ)  Hence, the area of the other segment  of the circle is s_2 =πr^2 −s_1 .  s_2 =4πa^2 −2a^2 (θ−sinθ)  s_2 =2a^2 (2π+sinθ−θ)  Therefore, (s_1 /s_2 )=((θ−sinθ)/(2π+sinθ−θ)).  Returning to △AQB, we can yield  a right−angled triangle △AQD  with ∠AQD=(1/2)∠AQB=(θ/2)  and ∠QDA=(π/2).  We then have cos(θ/2)=((QD)/(AQ))=(a/(2a))=(1/2)  ⇒(θ/2)=(π/3)⇒θ=((2π)/3).  ∴ (s_1 /s_2 )=((((2π)/3)−sin((2π)/3))/(2π+sin((2π)/3)−((2π)/3)))=((((2π)/3)−((√3)/2))/(2π+((√3)/2)−((2π)/3)))  (s_1 /s_2 )=((4π−3(√3))/(8π+3(√3)))

  The diameter cuts the chord at 90°  with the chord divinding the length of  the diameter in the ratio 1:3.

(Integral calculus method based on  initial information from first answer.)    Define a circle C with equation   x^2 +y^2 =4a^2 , a>0.  For C ,let s_1  be the area between the   chord AB and the arc AB. We can let  the diameter normal to AB be concurrent  with the x−axis.  ∴ s_1 =∫_a ^(2a) ydx  s_1 =∫_a ^(2a) (√(4a^2 −x^2 ))dx  Let x=2asinθ⇒dx=2acosθdθ  and (√(4a^2 −x^2 ))=2acosθ.  At x=a⇒sinθ=1/2⇒θ=(π/6).  At x=2a⇒sinθ=1⇒θ=π/2.  ∴s_1 =2∫_(π/6) ^(π/2) 4a^2 cos^2 θdθ  s_1 =4a^2 ∫_(π/6) ^(π/2) (1+cos2θ)dθ  s_1 =4a^2 (θ+(1/2)sin2θ)∣_(π/6) ^(π/2)   s_1 =4a^2 ((π/2)−(π/6)+(1/2)sinπ−(1/2)sin(π/3))  s_1 =4a^2 ((π/3)−((√3)/4))  s_1 =(a^2 /3)(4π−3(√3))  The area s_2  of the other segment is   given by s_2 =πr^2 −s_1 .  ∴ s_2 =4πa^2 −4a^2 ((4π−3(√3))/(12))  s_2 =4a^2 (π−((4π−3(√3))/(12)))  s_2 =4a^2 (((12π−4π+3(√3))/(12)))  s_2 =(a^2 /3)(8π+3(√3))  ∴ (s_1 /s_2 )=((4π−3(√3))/(8π+3(√3)))
