Rhombus and Sectors of Circles.

Calculus Level 4

In Rhombus A B C D ABCD , D C A DCA and B C A BCA are sectors of a circle with centers D D and B B respectively and m B = θ m\angle{B} = \theta .

Let A R ( θ ) A_{R}(\theta) be the area of the red region and A R ( θ ) B C 2 = f ( θ ) \dfrac{A_{R}(\theta)}{\overline{BC^2}} = f(\theta)

Find 0 π 6 f ( θ ) d θ \large \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}} f(\theta) \:\ d\theta


The answer is 0.0031032426884575.

Let a a be a side of rhombus A B C D ABCD

Let A s ( θ ) A_{s}(\theta) be the area of sector B C A A s ( θ ) = 1 2 a 2 θ BCA \implies A_{s}(\theta) =\dfrac{1}{2}a^2\theta and A A B C ( θ ) = 1 2 a 2 sin ( θ ) A_{\triangle{ABC}}(\theta) = \dfrac{1}{2}a^2\sin(\theta) \implies

A R ( θ ) = 2 ( A s ( θ ) A A B C ( θ ) ) = ( θ sin ( θ ) ) a 2 A_{R}(\theta) = 2(A_{s}(\theta) - A_{\triangle{ABC}}(\theta)) = (\theta - \sin(\theta))a^2 \implies

0 π 6 f ( θ ) d θ = 0 π 6 ( θ sin ( θ ) ) d θ = ( θ 2 2 + cos ( θ ) ) 0 π 6 = \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} f(\theta) \:\ d\theta = \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} (\theta - \sin(\theta)) \:\ d\theta = (\dfrac{\theta^2}{2} + \cos(\theta))|_{0}^{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} =

π 2 + 36 3 72 72 0.0031032426884575 \dfrac{\pi^2 + 36\sqrt{3} - 72}{72} \approx \boxed{0.0031032426884575} .
