If the radius of the circle shown in the figure is
R
, find the value of
⌊
R
⌋
.
To clarify: The sum of areas of the two yellow squares is 2021.

Following the labelling of the figure, denote
O
D
and
C
D
by
x
and
s
respectively.
Obviously, the two squares are congruent, since
△
C
D
G
is isosceles, thus
s

=

.
By Pythagoras’s theorem on right triangles
△

,
△
C

E
we have

and
C

=

Moreover,
△
A
E
B
is a right triangle as well and
C
E
is its height on the hypotenuse, thus
C E 2 = C A ⋅ C B ⇒ 2 s 2 = ( R − x ) ⋅ ( R + x ) ⇒ 2 s 2 = R 2 − x 2 ⇒ R 2 = 2 s 2 + 2 s 2 ⇒ R 2 = 2 5 s 2 ⇒ R 2 = 2 5 ⋅ 2 2 0 2 1 ⇒ R = 2 1 0 1 0 5 ≈ 50 .26 For the answer, ⌊ R ⌋ = 5 0 .
Let the side of square is a :
a R ∴ ⌊ R ⌋ = 2 2 0 2 1 = ( 2 a ) 2 + ( 2 a ) 2 = 2 5 a = 2 5 2 2 0 2 1 ≈ 5 0 . 2 6 = 5 0

Label the diagram as follows:
Let the sides of each square be s = C D = B C . Since △ A C D is a right isosceles triangle, A C = 2 s .
By the law of cosines on △ A B C , A B 2 = B C 2 + A C 2 − 2 ⋅ B C ⋅ A C ⋅ cos 1 3 5 ° , or R 2 = s 2 + ( 2 s ) 2 − 2 ⋅ s ⋅ 2 s ⋅ ( − 2 1 ) , or R = 4 5 ⋅ 2 s 2 .
Since the area of both square is 2 0 2 1 , 2 s 2 = 2 0 2 1 , so ⌊ R ⌋ = ⌊ 4 5 ⋅ 2 0 2 1 ⌋ = 5 0 .
