Let the center of the circle be O . Then O E is perpendicular to A B . Area of △ A O C is 2 1 × 2 sin ( 3 π ) cos ( 3 π ) = 4 √ 3 . Area of △ O E A is 2 1 tan ( 3 π ) = 2 √ 3 1 . Therefore, area of △ O E C is 4 √ 3 − 2 √ 3 1 = 1 2 √ 3 . Let O E extended meets the semicircle at F . Then area of the sector O C F is 2 1 × ( 2 π − 3 π ) = 1 2 π and the area of the region E C F is 1 2 π − √ 3 , and hence the area of the region D E C (the green region) is 6 π − √ 3 . Therefore n = 3 .
