Consider a unit circle centered on the origin, and a circumscribing square. We could represent these curves in polar coordinates as ( R 1 ( θ ) , θ ) and ( R 2 ( θ ) , θ ) .
Form a third curve as follows:
R 3 ( θ ) = 2 R 1 ( θ ) + R 2 ( θ )
What is the area enclosed by the third curve? Note that this is the combined area of the tan and blue regions. If this area is A , give your answer as ⌊ 1 0 0 0 A ⌋ , where ⌊ ⋅ ⌋ denotes the floor function.

We note that R 1 ( θ ) = 1 and R 2 ( θ ) = cos θ 1 = sec θ . Then R 3 ( θ ) = 2 R 1 ( θ ) + R 2 ( θ ) = 2 1 + sec θ , and the area enclosed by R 3 ( θ ) :
A = ∫ 0 2 π 2 1 R 3 2 ( θ ) d θ = 8 ∫ 0 4 π 2 1 R 3 2 ( θ ) d θ = ∫ 0 4 π ( 1 + sec θ ) 2 d θ = ∫ 0 4 π ( 1 + 2 sec θ + sec 2 θ ) d θ = ∫ 0 4 π d θ + 2 ∫ 0 4 π sec θ d θ + ∫ 0 4 π sec 2 θ d θ = [ θ + 2 ∫ tan θ + sec θ tan θ sec θ + sec 2 θ d θ + ∫ d tan θ ] 0 4 π = [ θ + 2 ln ( tan θ + sec θ ) + tan θ ] 0 4 π = 4 π + 2 ln ( 1 + 2 ) + 1 ≈ 3 . 5 4 8 1 4 5 Since R 3 ( θ ) is symmetrical about the origin
Therefore, ⌊ 1 0 0 0 A ⌋ = 3 5 4 8 .

We know that
R 1 = 1 and R 2 = sec θ { − 4 π ≤ θ ≤ 4 π } denotes the right vertical edge of the square. Now,
R 3 = 2 ( 1 + sec θ ) { − 4 π ≤ θ ≤ 4 π } for the right bulging side of the third curve. Now, we simply calculate the area of this part and multiply it by 4 since the figure is symmetrical.
Hence, we get area of one part
8 1 ∫ − 4 π 4 π ( 1 + sec θ ) 2 d θ
= 8 1 ( 2 π + 4 ln ( 2 + 1 ) + 2 )
Hence, total area of the third curve is
4 π + 2 ln ( 2 + 1 ) + 1 = 3 . 5 4 8 1 4 . . . .
