The shaded part is quarter of a circle. So the area is 4 1 π ( 2 2 ) = π . Let a be the side length of the square.
A s h a d e d = 3 1 A s q u a r e
π = 3 1 ( a 2 )
3 π = a 2
a = 3 π
Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3 .
The desired answer is 2 + 3 = 5
90/360 pi 2^2=1/3x^2 where x is the side length of the square.

Let A be the shaded area, B be the area of the square, C be the area of the circle, and s be the side length of the square. C = π r 2 = 4 π A = 4 C = π B = 3 A = 3 π s = B = 3 π Therefore x = 2 and y = 3 , so x + y = 5
