Problem
Quadrilateral 
with side lengths 
is inscribed in a circle. The area interior to the circle but exterior to the quadrilateral can be written in the form 
where 
and 
are positive integers such that 
and have no common prime factor. What is

Opposite angles of every cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, so ![\[\angle B + \angle D = 180^{\circ}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/0/b/10b835ac4f345b1691b1f847eb0bd5445af3efd0.png)
We claim that 
We can prove it by contradiction:
- If
then 
and 
are both acute angles. This arrives at a contradiction.
then 
and 
are both acute angles. This arrives at a contradiction.- If
then and are both obtuse angles. This arrives at a contradiction.
then By the Inscribed Angle Theorem, we conclude that 
is the diameter of the circle. So, the radius of the circle is 
The area of the requested region is ![\[\pi r^2 - \frac12\cdot AB\cdot BC - \frac12\cdot AD\cdot DC = \frac{625\pi}{4}-\frac{168}{2}-\frac{300}{2}=\frac{625\pi-936}{4}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/a/b/eabc501f3d3709f5610b40fa8eef1209001f1b06.png)
Therefore, the answer is
