Let side length be 1.

Area of an overlap = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ - 1.

Area wanted = $\frac{\pi}{4}$ - $(\frac{\pi}{2} - 1) +$ 2 $\Delta$ = 1 - $\frac{\pi}{4}$ + 2 $\Delta$.

We are in a challenge of finding 2 $\Delta$.

Perhaps we ought to allocate coordinates to find critical interception points via geometry to solve.

$x^2$ + $y^2$ = $\frac14$ intercepts with $(x - \frac12)^2$ + $(y + \frac12)^2$ = 1 for coordinates of positive x and positive y.

(x, y) of ($\frac{\sqrt{7}-1}{8}$, $\frac{\sqrt{7}+1}{8}$) is a critical interception point. 4 of them are just a matter of plus and minus, however I think we should find for $\frac12 \Delta$ at first. ($\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$, $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$) is another critical point. Area of new triangle found by joining three points which includes ($\frac12$,$\frac12$), two segments from two different curves are to be considered for their areas.

I think the problem is solved provided areas of the two different segments centered at (0, 0) to minus and ($\frac12$,$-\frac12$) to plus respectively are calculated. Angles formed for each sector is critical but they can always been found with all known coordinates.

$\theta_m$ = $tan^{-1}$ $\frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2}$ = $tan^{-1}$ $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}$ $\Rightarrow sin \theta_m = \frac{\sqrt2}{4}$.

$\delta_m = \frac12(\frac12)^2 (\theta_m-sin\theta_m)$ = $\frac18(tan^{-1}\frac{\sqrt7}{7}-\frac{\sqrt2}{4})$ = (9.7671666417925542359581190853027+)e-4

$tan (\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_p)$ = $\displaystyle |\frac{\frac{\sqrt7+1}{8}+\frac12}{\frac{\sqrt7-1}{8}-\frac12}|$ = $|-\frac{16+5\sqrt7}{9}|$ and $\theta_p = \frac{\pi}{2} - tan^{-1}|\frac{16+5\sqrt7}{9}|\Rightarrow cos\theta_p = \frac{5+\sqrt7}{8}and$ $sin\theta_p = \frac{5-\sqrt7}{8}$

$\delta_p = \frac12(1)^2 (\theta_p-sin\theta_p)$ = $\frac12(\frac{\pi}{2} - tan^{-1}\frac{16+5\sqrt7}{9}-\frac{5-\sqrt7}{8})$ = 0.0022110611028744654823035761735159+

$\delta_t = \frac{1}{16}(1-\frac{\sqrt2}{2})$ = 0.018305826175840779724947227368447+, by joining ($\frac12$,$\frac12$), ($\frac{\sqrt{7}-1}{8}$, $\frac{\sqrt{7}+1}{8}$) and ($\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$, $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$).

$\delta_t$ + $\delta_p$ - $\delta_m$ = $\frac12\Delta$

2 $\Delta$ = 4 ($\delta_t$ + $\delta_p$ - $\delta_m$)

Area wanted = 1 - $\frac{\pi}{4}$ + 4 ($\delta_t$ + $\delta_p$ - $\delta_m$) = 0.292762519060696+.

If side length of square is S, then the area is (0.292762519060696+) $S^2$

Do you think (29.2762519060696+)% of area is there?

Rectified area wanted: 1 - $\frac{\pi}{4}$ + $\frac14(1-\frac{\sqrt2}{2})$ + $2$($$$\sin^{-1}\frac {5-\sqrt7}{8} - \frac {5-\sqrt7}{8})$ - $\frac12$($$$\sin^{-1}\frac {\sqrt2}{4} - \frac {\sqrt2}{4})$

$=\frac{\sqrt7-\pi}{4}$ + $2$($$$\sin^{-1}\frac {5-\sqrt7}{8})$ - $\frac12 sin^{-1}\frac {\sqrt2}{4}$

Area = [$\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt7-\pi}{4}$ + $\frac12 (\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {47}{128})$ - $\frac14$$\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {3}{4}$] $S^2$ = (0.29276251906069564951895912071385+) $S^2$

// May be many other forms. // Example:

[$\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt7-\pi}{4}$ + $\frac14 (\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {-5983}{8192})$ - $\frac14$$\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {3}{4}$] $S^2$ for $\frac14$ to be factored out.

Area wanted = $\displaystyle \frac 14 (cos^{-1}\frac{-5983}{8192} - cos^{-1}\frac34 + \sqrt7 - \pi) S^2$

Luis Ortiz introduced an elegant solution here within an hour ago.

$SQRT(7)/4+ACOS(-3/4)/4-ACOS(9/16)$ is another form by the author. The second method introduced should be a most preferred method. Only trigonometry is required rather than geometry! I recommend the method.

Consider the square is of length r. So the radius of circle is r/2. If we subtract the area of circle(πr^2/4) from the area of the square(r^2) we get the area of 4 corners i.e. [r^2(1-π/4)]. Now the radii of the bigger arc is r(=length of side of square). So its area is πr^2/4. If we subtract the areas of two corners from this area ,we will get the area of white patch and one of the black patch inside the circle i.e. [3πr^2/8-r^2/2]. If we subtract this from the area of circle , we get the area of one black patch which is r^2/2-πr^2/8. If we double that we will get area of shaded part. So the area of shaded part is r^2 -πr^2/4.

Let side length be 10.

assume diagonals as x and y axes so centre is origin.....eq of smaller circle x^2+y^2=(a^2)/4 eq of larger circle x^2+(y+a/root2)^2=a^2.find pt of intersection x=0.467a or -0.467a Integrate diffrence between y of both eqs for limits x=0 to x=0.467a and multiply it by 4.....hope this helps...

Let side of square be a then area of square will be a^2 and area circle will be pia^2/4 now subtract the area of circle from the area of square.next add the area of two quadrents and subtract the area of circle now subtract the area obtained from the first difference now the area obtained from the last difference is subtracted from the area of the circlenow we getvthe required area

Hi

Let R be the radius of the Quadrant circle,

Let the Side of the square be '2a'.

and, let radius of the circle that touching the all four sides of the Square = r.

Then , we have,

R = 2a

r = a.

Area of the Square = (2a)^2 = 4a^2

Area of Circle = πr^2 = πa^2.

Area of a Quadrant = 1/4(πR^2) , where R =2a

Therefore,

Required area of the shaded region = Area of Square + Area of Circle ― 2(area of each quadrant)

=4a^2 + πa^2 ― 2[1/4(πR^2)]

= 4a^2 + πa^2 ― 2(1/4(π(4a^2))) , [ since R = 2a ]

= 4a^2 + πa^2 ― 2πa^2

= 4a^2 ― πa^2

= [4 ― π]a^2

= [4 ― π]r^2 sq units [ as, a = r ]

An amazing question

Let side=a Total area=aa Area excluding the left top corner(shaded and unshaded part=0.25api Therefore area of shaded part={(piaa/2)-(0.25api)}2

Let's assume the square has side length (s). Then, we can say that the radii of both fourth-of-circle, that form the symmetrical lens (eye shape) with their intersection in the middle of the figure, is (s).

The black, small circle has a radius of s/2 and the distance between the center of the black circle and the center of either fourth-of-circle is (s)*(sq.root 2)/2. (Isosceles triangle)

Knowing those 3 things (radii and distance between centers of circles) we can use the formula for finding the area of the lunes (black areas). Since the lunes are the same, we can find the area of a single lune and multiply by 2.

Area of lune =0.146381259542932(s)^2 ................. Total area=0.292762519(s)^2

Or roughly 30% of the area of the square.

Formulas: Δ = (1/4)√( (a+b+c) * (b+c-a) * (c+a-b) * (a+b-c))

A = 2Δ + a² * arcsec( (2ac)/ (b²-a²-c²) ) - b² * arcsec( (2bc) / (b²+c²-a²) )

Where a = radius of small circle, b = radius of big circle, c = distance between centers of circles.

Basically you have to times the sub divided pattern by the integral Base and then divide it by four because a square has four sides

Idk

If square length is x Then the area of the shaded is (5πx^2)/8

1/4th of the square

I'm not going into details... That's pedantic Instead I wish to say "Square, quarter circle, circle"!!!

Thats a lot of work haha. Can you just grid the whole square with metric units and then do simple fractions?

How the hell do you work this out ?!??!?!?!?

If side of square = a Area of shaded region = (3a^2)((4-pi)/8)

Let side length be 20.

Set up coordinate system.

Let us consider the picture at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t70y79qb8d4e19t/aaa.jpg?dl=0

Referring to the previous figure, I will indicate areas by capital letters of the points placed on their perimeter.

Be x=NGEM y=HNG z= HIN j= INML the areas in figure.

x, y, z, j can be obtained as the solution of the following system of 4 equations.

• GFE + x + 2y = HGFEDMN
• GFE = z + 2y
• j + 2z = HILDMN
• j + 2x = ACLMEGNI

where the areas GFE, HGFEDMN, GFE, HILDMN, ACLMEGNI can be simply obtained as

• GFE = (area of the square - area of the small circumference)/2
• HGFEDMN = area of the square - (area of the big circumference)/4
• HILDMN = area of the square - 2*HGFEDMN
• ACLMEGNI = area of the small circumference

Solving the system, x is the area needed.
