Problem

Three concentric circles centered at $O$ have radii of $1$, $2$, and $3$. Points $B$ and $C$ lie on the largest cirlce. The region between the two smaller circles is shaded, as is the portion of the region between the two larger circles bounded by central angle $BOC$, as shown in the figure below. Suppose the shaded and unshaded regions are equal in area. What is the measure of $\angle{BOC}$ in degrees?

-figure-

$\textbf{(A) } 108\qquad\textbf{(B) } 120\qquad\textbf{(C) } 135\qquad\textbf{(D) } 144\qquad\textbf{(E) } 150$

Solution

Let $x=\angle{BOC}$.

We see that the shaded region is the inner ring plus a sector $x^\circ$ of the outer ring. The area of this in terms of $x$ is $\left( 4 \pi - \pi \right)+\frac{x}{360} \left( 9 \pi - 4 \pi \right)$. This simplifies to $3 \pi + \frac{x}{360}(5 \pi)$.

Also, the unshaded portion is comprised of the smallest circle plus the sector $(360-x)^\circ$ of the outer ring. The area of this is $\pi + \frac{x}{360}(5 \pi)$.

We are told these are equal, therefore $\pi + \frac{x}{360}(5 \pi) = 3 \pi + \frac{x}{360}(5 \pi)$. Solving for $x$ reveals $x=\boxed{\textbf{(A) } 108}$.
