Expected area of a random circular triangle

Consider a circle CC with unit radius and center at A=(0,0)A=(0,0). Let B=(1,0)B=(1,0). Suppose Θ∼U(0,π)\Theta\sim\mathrm{U}(0,\pi) and D=(cos⁡Θ,sin⁡Θ)D=(\cos\Theta,\sin\Theta). Note that the angle ∠DAB=Θ\angle DAB=\Theta. Then the expected area of the triangle ABDABD is
