We want to find the area of this figure:
 
 
 
<asy>
 
//import graph;
 
draw(circle((0,0), 1));
 
draw(circle((1,0), 1));
 
</asy>
 
 
 
 
 
-------------------------
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We want to find the area of this figure:
 
 
 
<asy>
 
path rt,tt, tri;
 
real x, y;
 
y = 1+sqrt(2);
 
x = y+(6/1.7);
 
tt=(0,0)..(y,1)--(y,-1)..cycle;
 
rt=(y,-1)--(x,-1)--(x,1)--(y,1);
 
tri=(y,-1)--(y-1,0)--(y,1);
 
draw(rt);
 
draw(tt);
 
draw(tri);
 
label("1.7", (x, 0), E);
 
label("3", (y+(3/1.7), -1), S);
 
label("C", (y-1, -0.1), S);
 
</asy>
 
 
 
We label the circle as circle C. We can break the figure into three parts, shown as the 3/4 circle, the triangle, and the rectangle.
 
 
 
Lets first take a look at the rectangle.
 
 
 
<asy>
 
path rt;
 
real x, y;
 
y = 1+sqrt(2);
 
x = y+(6/1.7);
 
rt=(y,-1)--(x,-1)--(x,1)--(y,1)--cycle;
 
draw(rt);
 
label("1.7", (x, 0), E);
 
label("3", (y+(3/1.7), -1), S);
 
</asy>
 
 
 
It has an area of <math> 3 * 1.7 = 5.1</math> .
 
 
 
 
 
Lets now take a look at the triangle, after drawing the height.
 
 
 
<asy>
 
unitsize(0.8inch);
 
path tri, lin;
 
real x, y;
 
y = 1+sqrt(2);
 
x = y+(6/1.7);
 
tri=(y,-1)--(y-1,0)--(y,1)--cycle;
 
lin=(y-1, 0)--(y,0);
 
draw(tri);
 
draw(lin);
 
label("1.7", (y, 0), E);
 
label("C", (y-1, -0.1), S);
 
</asy>
 
 
 
We see that both the radii are the two shorter sides of the triangle, making this a isosceles 45-45-90 triangle.
 
 
 
We also see that the height that we drew is half the hypotenuse(note the two smaller 45-45-90 isosceles triangles).
 
 
 
Hence, the area of the triangle is <math>\frac{1.7 * \frac{1.7}{2}}{2} = 0.7225</math> .
 
 
 
Now, let's take a look at the 3/4 circle. We know it is 3/4 because there is a 90 degree triangle cut out of it.
 
 
 
<asy>
 
unitsize(0.6inch);
 
path tt, tri;
 
real x, y;
 
y = 1+sqrt(2);
 
x = y+(6/1.7);
 
tt=(0,0)..(y,1)--(y-1, 0)--(y,-1)..cycle;
 
tri=(y, 1)--(y,-1);
 
draw(tt);
 
fill(tt, gray(0.4));
 
label("1.7", (y, 0), E);
 
label("C", (y-1, -0.1), S);
 
</asy>
 
 
 
We find the radius using the 45-45-90 triangle. Since the ratios of the sides are 1:1:<math>\sqrt{2}</math>, we can find the radius to be <math>\frac{1.7}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1.7 \sqrt{2}}{2}</math> .
 
 
 
Hence, the area of the whole circle is <math>\pi r^2</math>, and the area of the 3/4 circle is <math>\frac{3}{4} * \pi * (\frac{1.7 \sqrt{2}}{2})^2 </math>.
 
 
 
Adding it all up, we find the answer to be <math>\frac{3}{4} \pi (\frac{1.7 \sqrt{2}}{2})^2 + 0.7225 + 5.1</math> .
 
 
 
Just plug it into your calculator. And please understand where all the numbers came from before writing the answer down.
