Hi;

Are they saying that the area of the blue region is

Re: circle with image (;

Hi;

You just need to manipulate this identity where the LHS is the area of the grey region and the RHS is the area of the pink.

where s is the side of the square?

I think the problem should provide a bit more information because many assumptions had to be made. For one thing, is the polygon a square? Is that circle inscribed in the square? I have deduced those from the drawing but it would be much better if the problem stated it.

Re: circle with image (;

a simple method  :

the gray area is   3( r^2 - 1/4 π r^2)

the pink area is 1/4π r^2 -(π-3) r^2

= r^2(1/4π-π+3)

=r^2(-3/4π+3)

=3 r^2(1-1/4π)

=3(r^2-1/4π r^2)=the gray area
