The circle with center O in the figure has a radius of 6. Diameters K L and M N are perpendicular, and A , B , C , D are the midpoints of K O , M O , L O , N O , respectively.
What is the pink area?

Since the symmetry, [ K O M ] = [ M O L ] = [ L O N ] = [ N O K ] So let's consider the △ K O M . The M A , K B 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 ] = 2 6 ∗ 6 = 1 8 If the intersection of M A and K B is Q , then [ K Q M O ] = 6 4 [ K O M ] = 1 2 = [ M O L ] = [ L O N ] = [ N O K ] Therefore red area = 4 ∗ 1 2 = 4 8
One of my favorite problems. Nice.
Really nice solution!
Let A N meet K D at P , P Q be the perpendicular from P to K O , and P Q = h . We note that △ K D O , △ K P Q and △ P A Q are similar. Therefore,
P Q K Q h K Q ⟹ K Q = D O K O = 3 6 = 2 = 2 = 2 h Note that P Q = h
Also that
P Q A Q h A Q ⟹ A Q = K O D O = 6 3 = 2 1 = 2 1 = 2 h Note that P Q = h
Note that
K Q 2 h ⟹ h = K A + A Q = 3 + 2 h = 2 Note that K A = 3
We note that the area of the red polygon A r e d = 8 [ K P O ] = 8 × 2 1 × 6 × h = 8 × 2 1 × 6 × 2 = 4 8 .
[APK]=[APO]=[OPD] = 1/3 (3 x 6/2) = 3. So the red area = 6(12)/2 + 4(3) = 48

Consider one fourth part of the circle.
tan ϕ = 6 3 = 2 1 = 0 . 5 ⟹ ϕ = tan − 1 0 . 5
θ = 4 5 − ϕ = 4 5 − tan − 1 0 . 5
By pythagorean theorem, N L = 6 2
tan θ = 2 N L x = 3 2 x ⟹ x = 3 2 tan ( 4 5 − tan − 1 0 . 5 ) = 3 2 ( 3 1 ) = 2
Let A G be the area of the green region, then A G = 2 1 2 ( 6 2 ) = 6
Let A Y be the area of yellow region, then A Y = 4 1 π ( 6 2 ) − 2 1 ( 6 ) ( 6 ) = 9 π − 1 8
Let A R be the area of the red region, then A R = 4 1 π ( 6 2 ) − ( 9 π − 1 8 ) − 6 = 1 2
Finally, the area of the whole red region is 4 ( 1 2 ) = 4 8
