Yes, computation is tough.
The green area is four times the value of the integral:
∫ − 4 6 r 4 6 r [ f ( x ) − g ( x ) ] d x = 2 × ∫ 0 4 6 r ( r 2 − x 2 − x 2 + ( 2 r ) 2 ) d x = = 2 × [ 2 1 x r 2 − x 2 + r 2 arcsin r x − 2 1 x x 2 + ( 2 r ) 2 − ( 2 r ) 2 sinh − 1 r 2 x ] 0 4 6 r = 0 . 4 0 1 1 3 r 2 ⟹ green area = 4 × 0 . 4 0 1 1 3 r 2 = 1 . 6 0 4 5 1 r 2
blue area = π r 2 − green area = 1 . 5 3 7 0 8 r 2
The desired ratio is blue area green area = 1 . 5 3 7 0 8 r 2 1 . 6 0 4 5 1 r 2 = 1 . 0 4 3 8 7
This is a replicated rectangular hyperbola. As noted elsewhere, it is sufficient to work in the lower octant of the first quadrant and that any radius could be chosen. I used a radius of 1. By working in polar coordinates, the green area can be computed in one integral, with the hyperbola being at r = 2 1 sec ( 2 θ ) , the circle being at r = 1 and 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 1 cos − 1 ( 4 1 ) , which is the angle at which the hyperbola meets the circle. green = 8 ∫ 0 2 1 cos − 1 ( 4 1 ) ∫ 2 1 sec ( 2 θ ) 1 r d r d θ ⇒ 2 arccos 4 1 − arctanh 5 3 . The answer: π − green green ≈ 1 . 0 4 3 8 7 1 8 9 0 8 8 0 9 8 .
I thought almost equal area implies their quotient to be close to 1. Then i thought circle implies pi. Pi/3=1.0472 - correct.
Close enough to pass... A fortunate coincidence!

Due to symmetry, we only need to consider the firs half quadrant of the graph, where the ratio A blue A green is the same.
We know that the point P , where the circle intersects the hyperbola, satisfies the system of equations below.
⎩ ⎨ ⎧ Hyperbola: Circle: x 2 − y 2 = 4 r 2 x 2 + y 2 = r 2 . . . ( 1 ) . . . ( 2 )
From ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) : 2 x 2 = 4 5 r 2 ⟹ x = 8 5 r . Since x 2 + y 2 = r 2 , ⟹ y = 8 3 r and P ( 8 5 r , 8 3 r ) .
Then the green area is given by:
A green = ∫ 2 r 8 5 r x 2 − 4 r 2 d x + ∫ 8 5 r r r 2 − x 2 d x = 2 r ∫ 2 r 8 5 r ( r 2 x ) 2 − 1 d x + r ∫ 8 5 r r 1 − ( r x ) 2 d x = 4 r 2 ∫ 0 tan − 1 2 3 sec θ tan 2 θ d θ + r 2 ∫ tan − 1 3 5 2 π cos 2 ϕ d ϕ = 4 r 2 sec θ tan θ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 0 tan − 1 2 3 − 4 r 2 ∫ 0 tan − 1 2 3 sec 3 θ d θ + 2 r 2 ∫ tan − 1 3 5 2 π ( 1 + cos 2 ϕ ) d ϕ = 8 1 5 r 2 − 4 r 2 [ 2 sin θ sec 2 θ + 2 1 ∫ sec θ d θ ] 0 tan − 1 2 3 + 2 r 2 [ ϕ + 2 1 sin 2 ϕ ] tan − 1 3 5 2 π = 8 1 5 r 2 − 1 6 1 5 r 2 − 8 r 2 ln ( tan θ + sec θ ) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 0 tan − 1 2 3 + 4 π r 2 − 2 r 2 tan − 1 3 5 − 1 6 1 5 r 2 = 1 6 r 2 ( 4 π − ln ( 4 + 1 5 ) − 8 tan − 1 3 5 ) ≈ 0 . 2 0 0 5 6 4 2 0 1 r 2 Let r 2 x = sec θ ⟹ d x = 2 r sec θ tan θ d θ Let r x = sin ϕ ⟹ d x = r cos ϕ d ϕ By integration by parts By reduction formula
