0 araver Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Red area = Rectangle - 2 triangles.Inner circle has r=1 (area = pi*r^2=pi). Inner square has length 2, hence diagonally sqrt(2) is the radius of the outer circle, hence the outer square has length 2*sqrt(2).Rectangle has area (1+sqrt(2))*sqrt(2) = 2 + sqrt(2)Leftlower triangle has area (sqrt(2))^2/2= 2/2 = 1.Uppermost triangle has area (sqrt(2)-1)*1/2Therefore the area of the red triangle is 2+sqrt(2)-1-sqrt(2)/2+1/2=(3+sqrt(2)/2.

0 BMAD Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Though your answer makes sense, i am going to hold out a little because i have a slightly different answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 araver beat me to it.Square (1) and two triangles: (1) and {sqrt(2) - 1}/2 = 2.207 .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BMAD Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 araver beat me to it.Hidden Content I found my mistake. LOL one day, I will be sure to have the answer to my own questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
