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
?
Solutions
Solution 1
Divide the circle into four parts: the top semicircle by connecting E, F, and G(); the bottom sector (
), whose arc angle is
because the large circle's radius is
and the short length (the radius of the smaller semicircles) is
, giving a
triangle; the triangle formed by the radii of
and the chord (
); and the four parts which are the corners of a circle inscribed in a square (
). Then the area is
(in
, we find the area of the bottom shaded region, and in
we find the area of the shaded region above the semicircles but below the diameter).
The area of is
.
The area of is
.
For the area of , the radius of
, and the distance of
(the smaller semicircles' radius) to
, creates two
triangles, so
's area is
.
The area of is
.
Hence, finding , the desired area is
, so the answer is
.
