Here's a puzzle for when the site activity is low!
In the diagram below there are two quarter circles of radius 1 and 2 intersecting as shown. What is the area of their intersection (i.e. the shaded region)?
circle1:x2+y2=4r1=2circle2:(x−2)2+(y−2)2=1r2=1
intersections S1 and S2:
2x2s−2a⋅xs+a2−r21=0a=3r21−r222r1=114→S1=(18(11−√7)18(11+√7))→S2=(18(11+√7)18(11−√7))
sectors angels (cosinus-rule) α1 and α2:
cos(α1)=5764α1=27.0481105464∘cos(α2)=916α2=55.7711336722∘
Areas sectors As1 and As2:
As1=4π27.0481105464∘360∘As2=π55.7711336722∘360∘
Areas triangles At1 and At2:
At1=12⋅|→S2×→S1|=1132√7At2=12⋅|[→S1−(22)]×[→S2−(22)]|=532√7
The area of their intersection A=As1−At1+As2−At2
A=π360(4⋅27.0481105464∘+55.7711336722∘)−√72A=1.43085212603−1.32287565553A=0.10797647050
