What is the ratio of the Blue area to the Yellow area to the Red area?
How it's made: A quarter-circle is constructed. A semi-circle is constructed on the radius of the quarter circle. Finally, a circle of maximum radius is inscribed in the semi-circle

Let the radius of the blue circle be r . Then, the radius of the yellow circle will be 2 r and of the red circle will be 4 r .
Thus, the area of the blue circle will be π r 2
Area of yellow region = Area of yellow semi circle - Area of blue circle 2 1 π ( 2 r ) 2 − π r 2 2 π r 2 − π r 2 Thus, the area of the yellow region will be π r 2
Area of Red region = Area of Red quarter circle - Area of yellow semi circle 4 1 π ( 4 r ) 2 − 2 1 π ( 2 r ) 2 4 π r 2 − 2 π r 2 Thus, the area of the red region will be 2 π r 2
Thus the ratio of the Blue area : Yellow area : Red area :: 1 : 1 : 2
