Problem
Semicircles and
pass through the center
. What is the ratio of the combined areas of the two semicircles to the area of circle
?
Solution
By the Pythagorean Theorem, the radius of the larger circle turns out to be . Therefore, the area of the larger circle is
. Using the coordinate plane given, we find that the radius of each of the two semicircles to be 1. So, the area of the two semicircles is
. Finally, the ratio of the combined areas of the two semicircles to the area of circle
is
.
