Hey,

There are couple of things to be mended in the function "findarea".

They are

(i) "area_of_segment=(4.0/3)*area_of_triangle" But in the prev line,
you have declared the variable  as "area_of_triange". "L(l) is
missing."

(ii) You're returning the variable "area" from the function to the
main block. But there is no such variable in the function. Guess it
has to be "area_of_segment".

This should work now.
