The circle with center O O in the figure has a radius of 6. Diameters K L KL and M N MN are perpendicular, and A , B , C , D A, B, C, D are the midpoints of K O , M O , L O , N O , KO, MO, LO, NO, respectively.

What is the pink area?


The answer is 48.

Consider one fourth part of the circle.

tan ϕ = 3 6 = 1 2 = 0.5 \tan~\phi=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5 \implies ϕ = tan 1 0.5 \phi=\tan^{-1}0.5

θ = 45 ϕ = 45 tan 1 0.5 \theta=45-\phi=45-\tan^{-1}0.5

By pythagorean theorem, N L = 6 2 NL=6\sqrt{2}

tan θ = x N L 2 = x 3 2 \tan~\theta=\dfrac{x}{\frac{NL}{2}}=\dfrac{x}{3\sqrt{2}} \implies x = 3 2 tan ( 45 tan 1 0.5 ) = 3 2 ( 1 3 ) = 2 x=3\sqrt{2}\tan(45-\tan^{-1}0.5)=3\sqrt{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=\sqrt{2}

Let A G A_G be the area of the green region, then A G = 1 2 2 ( 6 2 ) = 6 A_G=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}(6\sqrt{2})=6

Let A Y A_Y be the area of yellow region, then A Y = 1 4 π ( 6 2 ) 1 2 ( 6 ) ( 6 ) = 9 π 18 A_Y=\dfrac{1}{4} \pi(6^2)-\dfrac{1}{2}(6)(6)=9 \pi-18

Let A R A_R be the area of the red region, then A R = 1 4 π ( 6 2 ) ( 9 π 18 ) 6 = 12 A_R=\dfrac{1}{4} \pi(6^2)-(9 \pi-18)-6=12

Finally, the area of the whole red region is 4 ( 12 ) = 4(12)= 48 \color{#D61F06}\large \boxed{48}

Since the symmetry, [ K O M ] = [ M O L ] = [ L O N ] = [ N O K ] [KOM]=[MOL]=[LON]=[NOK] So let's consider the K O M \triangle KOM . The M A , K B MA, KB are medians. If we draw the third median, then we divided the triangle to six equal parts. From these six parts, exactly four is red, i.e. part of the red area. We know that [ K O M ] = 6 6 2 = 18 [KOM]=\dfrac{6*6}{2}=18 If the intersection of M A MA and K B KB is Q Q , then [ K Q M O ] = 4 6 [ K O M ] = 12 = [ M O L ] = [ L O N ] = [ N O K ] [KQMO]=\dfrac{4}{6}[KOM]=12=[MOL]=[LON]=[NOK] Therefore red area = 4 12 = 48 \text{red area}=4*12=\boxed{48}

One of my favorite problems. Nice.

Let A N AN meet K D KD at P P , P Q PQ be the perpendicular from P P to K O KO , and P Q = h PQ=h . We note that K D O \triangle KDO , K P Q \triangle KPQ and P A Q \triangle PAQ are similar. Therefore,

K Q P Q = K O D O = 6 3 = 2 Note that P Q = h K Q h = 2 K Q = 2 h \begin{aligned} \frac {KQ}{\color{#3D99F6}PQ} & = \frac {KO}{DO} = \frac 63 = 2 & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Note that }PQ = h \\ \frac {KQ}{\color{#3D99F6}h} & = 2 \\ \implies KQ & = 2h \end{aligned}

Also that

A Q P Q = D O K O = 3 6 = 1 2 Note that P Q = h A Q h = 1 2 A Q = h 2 \begin{aligned} \frac {AQ}{\color{#3D99F6}PQ} & = \frac {DO}{KO} = \frac 36 = \frac 12 & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Note that }PQ = h \\ \frac {AQ}{\color{#3D99F6}h} & = \frac 12 \\ \implies AQ & = \frac h2 \end{aligned}

Note that

K Q = K A + A Q Note that K A = 3 2 h = 3 + h 2 h = 2 \begin{aligned} KQ & = {\color{#3D99F6}KA} + AQ & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Note that }KA = 3 \\ 2h & = {\color{#3D99F6}3} + \frac h2 \\ \implies h & = 2 \end{aligned}

We note that the area of the red polygon A r e d = 8 [ K P O ] = 8 × 1 2 × 6 × h = 8 × 1 2 × 6 × 2 = 48 A_{\color{#D61F06}red} = 8 [KPO] = 8 \times \dfrac 12 \times 6 \times h = 8 \times \dfrac 12 \times 6 \times 2 = \boxed{48} .

[APK]=[APO]=[OPD] = 1/3 (3 x 6/2) = 3. So the red area = 6(12)/2 + 4(3) = 48
