I have a solution; how do I share it?

The image is a "shark fin" The area of the shaded area (the shark fin) is ¼ of the black circle with radius 56 minus ½ of the white circle with radius 25 gives the area of the "shark fin" : 392π

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

With reference to your title, if you posted this as a problem, you can add a solution to it.

No, I did not post it as a problem. It was a problem and I noticed there were no solutions as yet. So I tried to give mine. Ans is 392π square units. But I'm not sure if I did it correctly. Can you let me know? How do I find this problem again? I do not know the title; I called it "fin" because it reminded me of a shark fin. Thanks, Gwen
