If the area of red shaded region is 9 π − 7 and the sum of the length and the width of rectangle O A C D is r + 2 , where r is the radius of the quarter circle, and the perimeter P of the shaded region can be expressed as P = α + β π , where α and β are coprime positive integers, find α + β .

@Chew-Seong Cheong - Hi! It's an easy way to locate the value of r (I used it too), but how do we know that 2 a b is rational?

You are right, we don't know. I just have to assume it first.
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: ( r + 2 − w ) 2 + w 2 = r 2 ⟹
2 w 2 − 2 ( r + 2 ) w + 4 ( r + 1 ) = 0 ⟹ w 2 − ( r + 2 ) w + 2 ( r + 1 ) = 0 ⟹
w = 2 r + 2 ± ( r − 2 ) 2 − 8
Let A R be the red shaded region.
Using either value of w ⟹
A R = 4 1 ( π r 2 − 2 1 ( r + 2 − ( r − 2 ) 2 − 8 ) ( r + 2 + ( r − 2 ) 2 − 8 ) ) =
4 1 ( π r 2 − 2 1 ( ( r + 2 ) 2 − ( ( r − 2 ) 2 − 8 ) ) ) = 4 1 ( π r 2 − 4 r − 4 ) = 9 π − 7
⟹ π r 2 − 4 r + 1 2 ( 2 − 3 π ) = 0 ⟹ r = π 2 ( 1 ± ( 3 π − 1 ) ) dropping negative root
⟹ r = 6 ⟹ P = 2 2 0 + 6 π = 1 0 + 3 π = α + β π ⟹ α + β = 1 3 .
Let O D = A C = x and O A = C D = y . First it is given that x + y = r + 2 By Pythagoras’s theorem on right △ O A C ,
A C 2 + O A 2 = O C 2 ⇒ x 2 + y 2 = r 2 ⇔ ( x + y ) 2 − 2 x y − r 2 = 0 ⇔ ( r + 2 ) 2 − 2 x y − r 2 = 0 ⇔ 4 r + 4 − 2 x y = 0 ( 1 ) Moreover, for the area of the red region we have
[ A B C E D ] = [ O B C E ] − [ O A D ] ⇒ 9 π − 7 = 4 1 π r 2 − 2 1 x y ⇔ 2 x y = π r 2 − 3 6 π + 2 8 ( 2 ) Combining ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) , we have an equation for r :
4 r + 4 − π r 2 + 3 6 π − 2 8 = 0 ⇔ π r 2 − 4 r + 2 4 − 3 6 π = 0 ⇔ r > 0 r = 6 For the perimeter,
P = A B + B C D + E D + A D = ( r − y ) + 4 1 2 π r + ( r − x ) + r = 3 r − ( x + y ) + 2 π r = 3 r − ( r + 2 ) + 2 π r = r = 6 1 0 + 3 π For the answer, α = 1 0 , β = 3 , thus, α + β = 1 3 .

Let A O = a and O D = b . Then the area of the red region is 4 π r 2 − 2 a b = 9 π − 7 . Assuming that 4 π r 2 = 9 π ⟹ r = 6 and 2 a b = 7 ⟹ a b = 1 4 . Given that a + b = r + 2 = 8 ⟹ b = 8 − a . Then
a b a ( 8 − a ) a 2 − 8 a + 1 4 ⟹ a = 1 4 = 1 4 = 0 = 2 8 ± 8 2 − 4 ⋅ 1 4 = 4 ± 2
Assuming b > a , then a = 4 − 2 and b = 4 + 2 . Then the perimeter of the red region:
P = A B + A D + D E + B C E a r c = r − a + a 2 + b 2 + r − b + 4 2 π r = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 − 2 + 3 π = 1 0 + 3 π
Therefore α + β = 1 0 + 3 = 1 3 .
