Let side length be 1.

Area of an overlap = $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$ - 1.

Area wanted = $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$ - $$(\frac{\pi}{2} - 1) +$$ 2 $$\Delta$$ = 1 - $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$ + 2 $$\Delta$$.

We are in a challenge of finding 2 $$\Delta$$.

Perhaps we ought to allocate coordinates to find critical interception points via geometry to solve.

$$x^2$$ + $$y^2$$ = $$\frac14$$ intercepts with $$(x - \frac12)^2$$ + $$(y + \frac12)^2$$ = 1 for coordinates of positive x and positive y.

(x, y) of ($$\frac{\sqrt{7}-1}{8}$$, $$\frac{\sqrt{7}+1}{8}$$) is a critical interception point. 4 of them are just a matter of plus and minus, however I think we should find for $$\frac12 \Delta$$ at first. ($$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$$, $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$$) is another critical point. Area of new triangle found by joining three points which includes ($$\frac12$$,$$\frac12$$), two segments from two different curves are to be considered for their areas.

I think the problem is solved provided areas of the two different segments centered at (0, 0) to minus and ($$\frac12$$,$$-\frac12$$) to plus respectively are calculated. Angles formed for each sector is critical but they can always been found with all known coordinates.

$$\theta_m$$ = $$tan^{-1}$$ $$\frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2}$$ = $$tan^{-1}$$ $$\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}$$ $$\Rightarrow sin \theta_m = \frac{\sqrt2}{4}$$.

$$\delta_m = \frac12(\frac12)^2 (\theta_m-sin\theta_m)$$ = $$\frac18(tan^{-1}\frac{\sqrt7}{7}-\frac{\sqrt2}{4})$$ = (9.7671666417925542359581190853027+)e-4

$$tan (\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_p)$$ = $$\displaystyle |\frac{\frac{\sqrt7+1}{8}+\frac12}{\frac{\sqrt7-1}{8}-\frac12}|$$ = $$|-\frac{16+5\sqrt7}{9}|$$ and $$\theta_p = \frac{\pi}{2} - tan^{-1}|\frac{16+5\sqrt7}{9}|\Rightarrow cos\theta_p = \frac{5+\sqrt7}{8}and$$ $$sin\theta_p = \frac{5-\sqrt7}{8}$$

$$\delta_p = \frac12(1)^2 (\theta_p-sin\theta_p)$$ = $$\frac12(\frac{\pi}{2} - tan^{-1}\frac{16+5\sqrt7}{9}-\frac{5-\sqrt7}{8})$$ = 0.0022110611028744654823035761735159+

$$\delta_t = \frac{1}{16}(1-\frac{\sqrt2}{2})$$ = 0.018305826175840779724947227368447+, by joining ($$\frac12$$,$$\frac12$$), ($$\frac{\sqrt{7}-1}{8}$$, $$\frac{\sqrt{7}+1}{8}$$) and ($$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$$, $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$$).

$$\delta_t$$ + $$\delta_p$$ - $$\delta_m$$ = $$\frac12\Delta$$

2 $$\Delta$$ = 4 ($$\delta_t$$ + $$\delta_p$$ - $$\delta_m$$)

Area wanted = 1 - $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$ + 4 ($$\delta_t$$ + $$\delta_p$$ - $$\delta_m$$) = 0.292762519060696+.

If side length of square is S, then the area is (0.292762519060696+) $$S^2$$

Do you think (29.2762519060696+)% of area is there?

Rectified area wanted: 1 - $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$ + $$\frac14(1-\frac{\sqrt2}{2})$$ + $$2$$($$\sin^{-1}\frac {5-\sqrt7}{8} - \frac {5-\sqrt7}{8})$$ - $$\frac12$$($$\sin^{-1}\frac {\sqrt2}{4} - \frac {\sqrt2}{4})$$

$$=\frac{\sqrt7-\pi}{4}$$ + $$2$$($$\sin^{-1}\frac {5-\sqrt7}{8})$$ - $$\frac12 sin^{-1}\frac {\sqrt2}{4}$$

Area = [$$\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt7-\pi}{4}$$ + $$\frac12 (\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {47}{128})$$ - $$\frac14$$$$\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {3}{4}$$] $$S^2$$ = (0.29276251906069564951895912071385+) $$S^2$$

// May be many other forms. // Example:

[$$\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt7-\pi}{4}$$ + $$\frac14 (\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {-5983}{8192})$$ - $$\frac14$$$$\displaystyle\cos^{-1}\frac {3}{4}$$] $$S^2$$ for $$\frac14$$ to be factored out.

Area wanted = $$\displaystyle \frac 14 (cos^{-1}\frac{-5983}{8192} - cos^{-1}\frac34 + \sqrt7 - \pi) S^2$$

Luis Ortiz introduced an elegant solution here within an hour ago.

$$SQRT(7)/4+ACOS(-3/4)/4-ACOS(9/16)$$ is another form by the author. The second method introduced should be a most preferred method. Only trigonometry is required rather than geometry! I recommend the method.

Formulas: Δ/ 4 = √ (a+b+c) * (b+c-a) * (c+a-b) * (a+b-c)

A = 2 [2Δ + a² * arccos( (b²-a²-c²) / (2ac) ) - b² * arccos( (b²+c²-a²) / (2bc) )]

Introduced by Luis Ortiz is correct. a = $$\frac12$$, b = 1 and c = $$\frac{\sqrt2}{2}$$ · 1 year, 3 months ago

How could, Area of an overlap = pi/2  - 1. · 1 year, 3 months ago

Area of one quarter circle = $$\frac14 \pi R^2 = \frac14 \pi 1^2$$ = $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$.

Two of them each with center at diagonal corners added up to $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$.

But such area equals to area of 1 sq. unit with a redundant of shape of a lens.

Wanting to find one time of area of the lens only, we minus away 1: $$\frac{\pi}{2} - 1$$. · 1 year, 3 months ago

Consider the square is of length r. So the radius of circle is r/2. If we subtract the area of circle(πr^2/4) from the area of the square(r^2) we get the area of 4 corners i.e. [r^2(1-π/4)]. Now the radii of the bigger arc is r(=length of side of square). So its area is πr^2/4. If we subtract the areas of two corners from this area ,we will get the area of white patch and one of the black patch inside the circle i.e. [3πr^2/8-r^2/2]. If we subtract this from the area of circle , we get the area of one black patch which is r^2/2-πr^2/8. If we double that we will get area of shaded part. So the area of shaded part is r^2 -πr^2/4. · 1 year, 3 months ago

Thats a lot of work haha. Can you just grid the whole square with metric units and then do simple fractions? · 1 year, 2 months ago

I'm not going into details... That's pedantic Instead I wish to say "Square, quarter circle, circle"!!! · 1 year, 2 months ago

Let the Side of the square be '2a'.

and, let radius of the circle that touching the all four sides of the Square = r.

Then , we have,

R = 2a

r = a.

Area of the Square = (2a)^2 = 4a^2

Area of Circle = πr^2 = πa^2.

Area of a Quadrant = 1/4(πR^2) , where R =2a

Therefore,

Required area of the shaded region = Area of Square + Area of Circle ― 2(area of each quadrant)

=4a^2 + πa^2 ― 2[1/4(πR^2)]

= 4a^2 + πa^2 ― 2(1/4(π(4a^2))) , [ since R = 2a ]

= 4a^2 + πa^2 ― 2πa^2

= 4a^2 ― πa^2

= [4 ― π]a^2

= [4 ― π]r^2 sq units [ as, a = r ] · 1 year, 3 months ago

Idk · 1 year, 3 months ago

Basically you have to times the sub divided pattern by the integral Base and then divide it by four because a square has four sides · 1 year, 3 months ago

Let's assume the square has side length (s). Then, we can say that the radii of both fourth-of-circle, that form the symmetrical lens (eye shape) with their intersection in the middle of the figure, is (s).

The black, small circle has a radius of s/2 and the distance between the center of the black circle and the center of either fourth-of-circle is (s)*(sq.root 2)/2. (Isosceles triangle)

Knowing those 3 things (radii and distance between centers of circles) we can use the formula for finding the area of the lunes (black areas). Since the lunes are the same, we can find the area of a single lune and multiply by 2.

Area of lune =0.146381259542932(s)^2 ................. Total area=0.292762519(s)^2

Or roughly 30% of the area of the square.

Formulas: Δ = (1/4)√( (a+b+c) * (b+c-a) * (c+a-b) * (a+b-c))

A = 2Δ + a² * arcsec( (2ac)/ (b²-a²-c²) ) - b² * arcsec( (2bc) / (b²+c²-a²) )

Where a = radius of small circle, b = radius of big circle, c = distance between centers of circles. · 1 year, 3 months ago

An answer formed from combination of different circles is an ultimate reasoning for this question.

I found the area of another overlaps since long ago. Just add another lens onto another diagonal, what is the curved-sides' square area in the middle with side length of 1 unit for the square enclosing it? This question has nothing to do with different circles but only one radius. A challenge to you, how are you going to sort for this? · 1 year, 3 months ago

Less than 34%. I tried to find a question I found in brilliant for you concerning the question being modified a little bit.

Sorry, I think now I wrote it correctly. I heavily believe there is a way to simplify those formulae for this particular problem, I might post them later here.

You added a $$\frac14$$ right? cos p = $$\frac1{sec p}$$ is correct.

Times two again 0.292762519060696+ is obtainable. All right!

Congratulation Luis Ortiz! I have never known that you can express in this elegant way. Thanks! · 1 year, 3 months ago

No, thank you. I love to see the way you did it simply because its complexity is really beautiful to me. It actually inspires to get better. · 1 year, 3 months ago

The way elaborated is not using special tool and therefore complexity appears. However, I think the one you introduced is important. However, to solve 4 $$\times$$ quarter circles centered onto every corner for area at the middle must apply the way I elaborated, I think. Try to get another constant of it! · 1 year, 3 months ago

Let us consider the picture at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t70y79qb8d4e19t/aaa.jpg?dl=0

Referring to the previous figure, I will indicate areas by capital letters of the points placed on their perimeter.

Be x=NGEM y=HNG z= HIN j= INML the areas in figure.

x, y, z, j can be obtained as the solution of the following system of 4 equations.

• GFE + x + 2y = HGFEDMN
• GFE = z + 2y
• j + 2z = HILDMN
• j + 2x = ACLMEGNI

where the areas GFE, HGFEDMN, GFE, HILDMN, ACLMEGNI can be simply obtained as

• GFE = (area of the square - area of the small circumference)/2
• HGFEDMN = area of the square - (area of the big circumference)/4
• HILDMN = area of the square - 2*HGFEDMN
• ACLMEGNI = area of the small circumference

Solving the system, x is the area needed. · 1 year, 2 months ago
