Using the cosine rule to find \angle AOD we have AC=CD=1 and so AD = \sqrt 2 and hence
\cos \angle AOD = {{OA^2 + OD^2 -AD^2}\over 2OA.OD} = {1 \over \sqrt 2}.
Hence \angle AOD = 45 degrees.
The area of the triangle AOD is
{1\over 2} OA \times OD \times \sin \angle AOD = {\sqrt 2 \over 4}(2 + \sqrt 2).
To find the area of the minor segment AD we subtract the area of triangle AOD from the area of sector AOD which gives
{\pi \over 8}(2 + \sqrt 2) - {\sqrt 2 \over 4}(2 + \sqrt 2).
To get the total red shaded area we now add the area of triangle ACD and multiply by 4 which gives:
4[{\pi \over 8}(2 + \sqrt 2) - {\sqrt 2 \over 4}(2 + \sqrt 2)+ {1\over 2}]={\pi \over 2}(2 + \sqrt 2)- 2\sqrt 2 \approx 2.535 \rm {\ sq. \ units} .
Find the perimeter and area of a holly leaf that will not lie flat (it has negative curvature with 'circles' having circumference greater than 2πr).
Given a square ABCD of sides 10 cm, and using the corners as centres, construct four quadrants with radius 10 cm each inside the square. The four arcs intersect at P, Q, R and S. Find the area enclosed by PQRS.
Draw two circles, each of radius 1 unit, so that each circle goes through the centre of the other one. What is the area of the overlap?
