- The following problem is from both the 2019 AMC 10B #20 and 2019 AMC 12B #15, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
As shown in the figure, line segment is trisected by points
and
so that
Three semicircles of radius
and
have their diameters on
and are tangent to line
at
and
respectively. A circle of radius
has its center on
The area of the region inside the circle but outside the three semicircles, shaded in the figure, can be expressed in the form
where
and
are positive integers and
and
are relatively prime. What is
?
Solution
Divide the circle into four parts: The top semicircle: (A), the bottom sector with arc length 120 degrees: (B), the triangle formed by the radii of (A) and the chord: (C), and the four parts which are the corners of a circle inscribed in a square (D). The area is just (A) + (B) - (C) + (D).
Area of (A):
Area of (B):
Area of (C): Radius of 2, distance of 1 to BC, creates 2 30-60-90 triangles, so area of it is
Area of (D):
Total sum:
For this solution to be a tad more clear, we are finding the area of the sector in B of 120 degrees because the large circle radius is 2, and the short length (the radius of the semicircle) is 1, and so the triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle. In A, we find the top semicircle part, in B minus C, we find the area of the shaded region above the semicircles but below the diameter, and in D we find the bottom shaded region. - iron
