Nice one sir
hypotenuse = diameter = 1 0 2 [ by pythagorean theorem ]
radius of circular sector = 2 1 0 2 = 5 2
area of red part = area of right triangle - area of two circular sectors
area of red part = [ 2 1 × base × height ] − [ 3 6 0 θ × π × r 2 ]
area of red part = [ 2 1 × 1 0 × 1 0 ] − [ 3 6 0 9 0 × π ( 5 2 ) 2 ] ≈ 1 1 square units
Main: colored region = Area of Triangle - 2 (sector)
AoT: given by b*h/2
sector: requires radius, from below we have radius, area of sector given by (area of circle with given radius)/8. We divide by 8 because isosceles, and right angle implies other two angles pi/4 which is 1/8 of 2pi (full circle)
radius: given by pythagorean with a, b = 10, then division by 2 , we now have radius
Thus we have AoT and sector so colored region follows.
Your solutions reminds me of HSM Coxeter and also a bit of Escher, keep going. My best wishes 4 your future endeavours. Cheers!
Since it’s a right triangle, h = 10 sqrt(2) so the r of the circle is half of it or 5 sqrt(2). The area of the 2 sectors is pi*r^2/4 and subtracting that from 50 gives 11

As a right isosceles with a leg of 1 0 , the triangle has acute angles of 4 5 ° and a hypotenuse of 1 0 2 , and an area of A triangle = 2 1 ⋅ 1 0 ⋅ 1 0 = 5 0 .
Just one of the sectors has a radius that is half the triangle's hypotenuse, 5 2 , a 4 5 ° central angle, and an area of A sector = 3 6 0 ° 4 5 ° ⋅ π ( 5 2 ) 2 = 4 2 5 π .
Therefore, the area of the red shape is A red = A triangle − 2 A sector = 5 0 − 2 ⋅ 4 2 5 π ≈ 1 1 .
