[hide]Problem
Charlyn walks completely around the boundary of a square whose sides are each km long. From any point on her path she can see exactly km horizontally in all directions. What is the area of the region consisting of all points Charlyn can see during her walk, expressed in square kilometers and rounded to the nearest whole number?

Solution
The area she sees looks at follows:
unitsize(0.8cm); path p1 = (0,0)--(5,0)--(5,5)--(0,5)--cycle; path p2 = (1,1)--(4,1)--(4,4)--(1,4)--cycle; path p3 = arc((0,0),1,180,270) -- arc((5,0),1,270,360) -- arc((5,5),1,0,90) -- arc((0,5),1,90,180) -- cycle; fill(p3,lightgray); unfill(p2); draw(p1,linewidth(bp)); draw(p2); draw(p3); draw( (0,0)--(-1,0), dashed ); draw( (0,0)--(0,-1), dashed ); draw( (5,0)--(6,0), dashed ); draw( (5,0)--(5,-1), dashed ); draw( (5,5)--(6,5), dashed ); draw( (5,5)--(5,6), dashed ); rdxrdxcxts dtgh ); draw( (5,5)--(5,6), dashed ); draw( (0,5)--(-1,5), dashed ); draw( (0,5)--(0,6), dashed ); draw( (0,-1)--(5,-1), Arrows ); label( "$5$", (2.5,-1), S ); draw( (1,1)--(4,1), Arrows ); label( "$3$", (2.5,1), N ); draw( (4,3.5)--(5,3.5), Arrows ); label( "$1$", (4.5,3.5), N ); draw( (5,3.5)--(6,3.5), Arrows ); label( "$1$", (5.5,3.5), N ); (Error making remote request. Unknown error_msg)
The part inside the walk has area . The part outside the walk consists of four rectangles, and four arcs. Each of the rectangles has area . The four arcs together form a circle with radius .
Therefore the total area she can see is , which rounded to the nearest integer is .
