The above two curves intersect according to:

16 x 2 = x 16 x 2 x 2 + x 16 = 0 x = 1 ± 1 4 ( 1 ) ( 16 ) 2 = 1 ± 65 2 \sqrt{16-x^2} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{16-x^2}} \Rightarrow x^2 + x - 16=0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(1)(-16)}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{65}}{2}

of which we only admit the positive root x = 65 1 2 . x = \frac{\sqrt{65}-1}{2}. The red area is enclosed in the circle's first quadrant (which has area 1 4 16 π = 4 π ) . \frac{1}{4} \cdot 16\pi = 4\pi). It can be directly computed per the integration:

4 π 0 ( 65 1 ) / 2 16 x 2 x 16 x 2 d x 2.7155 4\pi - \int_{0}^{(\sqrt{65}-1)/2} \sqrt{16-x^2} - \frac{x}{\sqrt{16-x^2}} dx \approx 2.7155 (per Wolfram Alpha!)

and 1000 2.7155 = 2715 . \lfloor 1000 \cdot 2.7155 \rfloor = \boxed{2715}.
