How do I find the area between the circle and the triangle.?

Ok, so there is a circle, and I'm given the length of one side of the triangle(11 if it helps you visualize), and and the measure of an angle (the angle is facing an arc, so it's one of the triangle's sides and then part of the circle). The measure is 60 degrees. I'm supposed to find the area of the region directly across from hte angle. Am I supposed to assume it's a right triangle? How do I solve (please don't solve for me. Thank you). Also the side is right next to the given angle. I wish I could draw it for you.

    think I'd have to see the illustration to be certain,

    but in general: NO! Assume nothing.

    you might be able to describe it better if you would give names to vertices (A, B, C), and corresponding names to the sides (a, b, c — i.e side a is opposite vertex A)

    then imagine we can't read your mind or see through your eyes.
