For simplicity just reverse the lower half of the given figure you will see 3 complete circles.
let c 1 be smallest circle with radius r 1
c 2 be tha middle circle with radius r 2
and c 3 be the largest circle with radius r 3
, since it is given that A B = B C = C D so we can take that r 3 = 3 r 1 a n d r 2 = 2 r 1 . for r 1 = 1
therefore, a r e a o f s h a d e d r e g i o n = a r e a o f c 3 + a r e a o f c 1 − a r e a o f c 2 = = π × ( 3 2 + 1 2 − 2 2 ) = 6 π
and t o t a l a r e a = 9 π
t h e r e f o r e p r o p o r t i o n o f s h a d e d r e g i o n = 9 π 6 π = 3 2
