Problem
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
$\textbf{(A)}\ 3 - \frac{\pi}{2} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{\pi}{2} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 2 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac{3\pi}{4} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 1+\frac{\pi}{2}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
Solution
The requested area is the area of minus the area shared between circles , and .
Let be the midpoint of and be the other intersection of circles and .
Then area shared between , and is of the regions between arc and line , which is (considering the arc on circle ) a quarter of the circle minus :
(We can assume this because is 90 degrees, since is a square, due the application of the tangent chord theorem at point )
So the area of the small region is
The requested area is area of circle minus 4 of this area:
.
Solution 2
Instead, we can move the area above the region
