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)?
\(circle_1: x^2 + y^2 = 4 \qquad r_1 = 2\\ circle_2: (x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 1 \qquad r_2 = 1\\\)
intersections \(S_1 \text{ and } S_2\):
\(2 x_{s}^2 - 2a \cdot x_s + a^2 - r_1^2 = 0 \qquad a = \frac{3r_1^2-r_2^2}{2r_1} = \frac{11}{4}\\ \vec{S_1} =\dbinom{ \frac18(11-\sqrt{7}) }{ \frac18(11+\sqrt{7}) }\\ \vec{S_2} =\dbinom{ \frac18(11+\sqrt{7}) }{ \frac18(11-\sqrt{7}) }\)
sectors angels (cosinus-rule) \(\alpha_1 \text{ and } \alpha_2\):
\( \cos{(\alpha_1)} = \frac{57}{64} \qquad \alpha_1 = 27.0481105464^{\circ}\\ \cos{(\alpha_2)} = \frac{9}{16} \qquad \alpha_2 = 55.7711336722^{\circ}\\\)
Areas sectors \(A_{s_1} \text{ and } A_{s_2}\):
\( A_{s_1} = 4\pi \frac{27.0481105464^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\\ A_{s_2} = \pi \frac{55.7711336722^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\\\)
Areas triangles \(A_{t_1} \text{ and } A_{t_2}\):
\( A_{t_1} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left| \vec{S_2}\times \vec{S_1} \right| = \frac{11}{32}\sqrt{7}\\ A_{t_2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left| \left[\vec{S_1}-\binom{2}{2}\right] \times \left[\vec{S_2}-\binom{2}{2}\right] \right|= \frac{5}{32}\sqrt{7} \)
\( \text{The area of their intersection }\quad A = A_{s_1}-A_{t_1}+A_{s_2}-A_{t_2}\)
\(A=\frac{\pi}{360}(4\cdot 27.0481105464^{\circ}+55.7711336722^{\circ})-\frac{ \sqrt{7} }{2}\\ A= 1.43085212603-1.32287565553\\ \mathbf{A=0.10797647050}\)
.
