Circles intersects orthogonally at A A which means the angle between their tangents at A A is 90 ° 90\degree . Tangent is always perpendicular to radius. So the angle between their radius ( O A (OA and P A ) PA) is also 90 ° 90\degree .

Sum of the areas of two circles is π O A 2 + π P A 2 = π ( O A 2 + P A 2 ) = π O P 2 = π ( π ) 2 = π 3 = 31.006 \pi OA^2 + \pi PA^2 = \pi(OA^2 + PA^2) = \pi OP^2 = \pi(\pi)^2 = \pi^3 = 31.006
