A C and F B are perpendicular bisectors of △ A B O ⇒ the areas b and e are equals. Then b + c + d is equal to 2 1 of △ A B O area. Also b + c + d = a because O A is perpendicular bisector of O A ∴ a + b + c + d is equal to △ A B O area.
△ A B O area is equal to 4 3
Area g is two times area f . Area g is equal to a sixth part of the circle's area minus △ A B O area. This is 6 π − 4 3 = 1 2 2 π − 3 3 ⇒ g + f = 1 . 5 ( 1 2 2 π − 3 3 ) = 8 2 π − 3 3
a + b + c + d + e + f + g = 8 2 π − 3 3 + 4 3 = 8 2 π − 3
