Your ( r − 2 ) (under the square root) changes to ( r + 2 ) when you are working out A r .
I see it. I wrote r + 2 instead of r − 2 . I'll fix it now. I changed it to: The sum of the length and the width of rectangle O A C D is 8 and area of shaded region is 9 π − 7 . This will work, at least for now. I also fixed the solution.
I did a second problem now with r + 2 . We have 4 1 ( π r 2 − 4 r − 4 ) = 9 π − 7 to solve to r = 6 .
Thanks!
Let A O = a and O D = b . Then a + b = 8 and the area of the red region is 4 π r 2 − 2 a b = 9 π − 7 . Assuming 4 π r 2 = 9 π , ⟹ r = 6 and 2 a b = 7 ⟹ a b = 1 4 . And the perimeter of the red region:
P = B A + A D + D E + B C E a r c = ( r − a ) + a 2 + b 2 + ( r − b ) + 4 2 π r = 2 r − ( a + b ) + ( a + b ) 2 − 2 a b + 2 π r = 2 ⋅ 6 − 8 + 8 2 − 2 ⋅ 1 4 + 2 6 π = 1 0 + 3 π
Therefore α + β = 1 0 + 3 = 1 3 .
Let x be the width of the rectangle , r be the radius of the circle.
The area of the red shaded region :
9 π − 7 = 4 π r 2 − 2 x ( 8 − x )
3 6 π − 2 8 = π r 2 − 2 x ( 8 − x )
( 3 6 − r 2 ) π = 2 x 2 − 1 6 x + 2 8 [ 1 ]
Radius:
r 2 = x 2 + ( 8 − x ) 2 = 2 x 2 − 1 6 x + 6 4
r 2 − 3 6 = 2 x 2 − 1 6 x + 2 8 [ 2 ]
By [1] and [2], r 2 = 3 6 ⟹ r = 6
Perimeter P = ( 2 r − 8 ) + r + 4 2 π r = 3 r − 8 + 2 π r = 1 8 − 8 + 2 π 6 = 1 0 + 3 π
∴ α + β = 1 3

The diagonals of rectangle O A C D are congruent ⟹ A D ≅ O C = r ⟹
P = r + ( r − w ) + r − ( r + 2 − w ) + 2 π r = 2 ( 4 + π ) r − 4
Using point C above we have: ( 8 − w ) 2 + w 2 = r 2 ⟹
2 w 2 − 1 6 w + 6 4 − r 2 = 0 ⟹ w = 2 8 ± 2 ( r 2 − 3 2 )
Let A R be the red shaded region.
Using either value of w ⟹
A R = 4 1 ( π r 2 − 2 1 ( 8 − 2 ( r 2 − 3 2 ) ( 8 + 2 ( r 2 − 3 2 ) ) =
4 1 ( π r 2 − ( 6 4 − r 2 ) ) = 4 1 ( ( π + 1 ) r 2 − 6 4 ) = 9 π − 7 ⟹
⟹ ( π + 1 ) r 2 = 3 6 ( π + 1 ) ⟹ r = 6 ⟹ P = 2 2 0 + 6 π = 1 0 + 3 π =
α + β π ⟹ α + β = 1 3 .
