After all the calculations, we get area of the black region as A B l a c k = 4 × r 2 ( π 12 + 3 1 2 ) 4 r 2 × 0.6278 A_{Black}=4\times r^2(\dfrac {π}{12}+\dfrac{\sqrt 3-1}{2})\approx 4r^2\times 0.6278 , where length of each side of the square is 2 r 2r . Hence the required ratio is η = A B l a c k 4 r 2 0.6278 = 62.78 % \eta=\dfrac{A_{Black}}{4r^2}\approx 0.6278=\boxed {62.78\%} .
