Problem 18
Circles 
and 
each have radius 1. Circles 
and 
share one point of tangency. Circle has a point of tangency with the midpoint of 
. What is the area inside Circle but outside circle and circle ?
Solution
Draw a rectangle with vertices at the centers of and and the intersection of 
and 
. Then, we can compute the shaded area as the area of half of plus the area of the rectangle minus the area of the two sectors created by and . This is 
.
