Geometry Level 3

B E D G BEDG is a circle whose radius is O G OG . A F C G AFCG is a circle which is tangent to the larger circle at G G . If A B = C D = 5 AB=CD=5 and if E F = 9 EF=9 , which of the following is the area of the yellow region?

395.25 π 395.25\pi 204.75 π 204.75\pi 185.125 π 185.125\pi 214.9375 π 214.9375\pi

Let X X be the center of the smaller circle. Draw A X AX as shown. Let r = A X = X G = F X = O C r=AX=XG=FX=OC , y = O X y=OX and x = A O x=AO . Then we have

r + y = 2 r + 9 2 r+y=\dfrac{2r+9}{2} \implies 2 r + 2 y = 2 r + 9 2r+2y=2r+9 \implies 2 y = 9 2y=9 \implies y = 4.5 y=4.5

and

x + 5 = y + r x+5=y+r \implies x = 5 + 4.5 + r x=-5+4.5+r \implies x = r 0.5 x=r-0.5

By pythagorean theorem on A O X \triangle AOX , we have

r 2 = x 2 + y 2 = r 2 r + 0.25 + 20.25 r^2=x^2+y^2=r^2-r+0.25+20.25 \implies 0 = r + 20.5 0=-r+20.5 \implies r = 20.5 r=20.5

Let R = O E = O G = O B = O D R=OE=OG=OB=OD , then R = r + y = 20.5 + 4.5 = 25 R=r+y=20.5+4.5=25

Thus, the area of the yellow region is

A = π ( R 2 r 2 ) = π ( 2 5 2 20. 5 2 ) = 204.75 π A=\pi (R^2-r^2)=\pi (25^2-20.5^2)=\boxed{204.75 \pi}
