Look at the above image. If we split up the ellipse thingy into two and put them in the regions colored blue and red, then, we get the following image -
As you can see now, there is a right-isosceles triangle in the middle of the quarter-circle. It has a base and height of , so its area is .
The quarter-circle has an area of
A small GIF showing all the stuff I said above, if it was to hard to understand -
Thus, the orange area is
An alternative solution for those who think the above is felony (lol)
As proved in the preface, the area of the regions shaded blue in the above image have an area of each.
Now, the remaining white regions are the regions shaded red in the image below. These have radii of length each, so they're areas are each.
So, the total white area is . Now, the orange area is equal to the area of the main quarter-circle minus the white regions area.
We have already calculated that the area of the main to be .
Thus, again the answer is

@Jason Gomez - Couldn't see your last comment, coz you deleted the comment thread by then. Any chance you could post it here?
Log in to reply
I just said no worries because I deleted my comment, how do you not see it tho, u were in the comment thread, I always see this ghostly deleted comment threads I make, I assumed everyone else in the comment thread could also see it
Log in to reply
Only you can see it as you deleted your comment. Others don't see anything. Its how people annoy others sometimes, give 'em a 100 notifs and then delete the comments :P
Log in to reply
@Percy Jackson Lol, was planning to do the same suddenly, but let’s keep that for later
Log in to reply
Haha, I won't fall for something that simple, it will have to be something big :)
Log in to reply
Not for the challenge, just to annoy you, no one will ever fall for that
Log in to reply
Ok, I am not going to reply if I see 4+ notifications from you lol :P
Log in to reply
That would kinda promote me to do more :)
Log in to reply
lmao I just opened brilliant and there were like 35 notifications so my first thought was you spammed me, until i realized i hadn't been here for a day, which is apparently enough time to get 30+ messages lol
Log in to reply
Today I was out for six hours(sleeping) and was hit by 78 notifs (I am not popular as you are and get max 20 notifs per day) and I thought you did it, lol, Sarah Alam and Broekhuis were the culprits spamming so much in yesterday’s daily challenge
Log in to reply
Not my fault that we were having an eleven person party without the people we were having a party for. Eleven people can do a lot of messages. Granted, it was me, S Broekhuis and his nine other split personalities. We were having a party for Julius/Confused. It’s deleted now, but we were talking about hypothetical situations where people had multiple split personalities and we started quoting 80s song lyrics. One of them was ‘Mr Blue Sky’ by the ELO Electric Light Orchestra. (Scientifically proven to be the worlds happiest song.) Then I had to go to bed and Broekhuis had to go walk his dog. And then the comments we were replying to got deleted. There was no evidence of our party. And then Jason Gomez began teaching me how to mention people. That was almost as long of a conversation.
Log in to reply
I'm not thaaaat popular, like a little bit I guess. Just got lucky, all the big solution makers were offline and my solutions scored at that time, that's all. I got 9 notifs today coz I didn't even see yesterday's challenge lol

Go check the “party” they were having with the “confused”

I was just looking up on your historical notes, and figured there is a lot to spam(actually more of a lot of genuine info to contribute), might attack on an unsuspecting day, you may start preparing those chubby fingers of yours, for a lot of notifs will need to be dismissed( read thru some, I think I might have somewhat of a lead in that impossible mathathon question).

dam, must have written weird stuff there
Log in to reply
Curious: Is "dam" a curse word? I have thought it was acceptable
Log in to reply
No, its a Percy Jackson reference. Like an inside joke only those that have read the books will understand.
Log in to reply
nice
Log in to reply
Ya well here's the gist of it -
A girl knows only old English not the more modern one so she speaks funny sometimes. Once, Percy, Zoe (the girl's name), Thalia and Grover (two other friends) go to Hoover Dam, and after deciding they should eat, Zoe says "Let us go to the dam snack bar". The other 3 start laughing saying 'I need a dam T-shirt' or 'I need to use the dam restroom' and laugh, and then Zoe is like 'what is funny? I do not understand' lmao
Log in to reply
Haha! Well, you could say that Zoe (a French name?) was 'damed' saying that.
Maybe it's time to upgrade her skills of English, cause a girl talking like in those medieval movies would sound like one in the lord of the rings.
I can imagine that guy from Clerks describing the trilogies:
" Here is the first movie. (walks funny)*"
" Here is the second movie. (Pretends to almost slip and walks funny)*"
" Are you ready for the third one ?(walks and imitates throwing a ring)*"
Log in to reply
lol no its a greek name for life, you know, coz the PJO series is about greek myths.
I haven't seen Clerks but I can totally see why he describes LotR that way lmao
Log in to reply
Huh, good to know. I could have met a girl named Zoe and said during a conversation: "Your name is lovely and rare, and it's French" and I'd not make it good (if she knew).
Log in to reply
lmao she'd be like 'vlacas', and you'd be like 'is that french for thank you?' lol (Dunno what vlacas is? Google it.)
Log in to reply
haha, (I know French btw). Well she would know Greek (and probably is a fan of ancient Greek history), so the date would be more like a history discussion (pretty great still). Worth spending time with her? Yes.
Log in to reply
Also, the Zoe from PJO would kill you for saying that. She's a hunter of artemis, she has sworn off men, and she has a lot of pointy silver arrows :)
Log in to reply
well I ain't forcing anyone lol
Log in to reply
lol you won't if you care for your life lmao
Log in to reply
Ok we were discussing about dam and why its funny and whether Zoe is a greek or french name, not whether she'd be a great date...lmao
Log in to reply
I think zoe is french
Log in to reply
Nah, its a Greek name for 'life'. Like Zoe Nightshade, former Lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis? Didn't know until i googled it tho lol
Log in to reply
I never met her

The one who died on the quest to free artemis? The same one in which your sis died? The Titan's Curse quest, ya that one.

bruh, i am like way better, i can totally beat you, i am the most powerful demigod!!!

I think Thalia fried your brain a little too much, previously I had a daily dosage of lightning bolts, but now I have gained the unlimited version, no use of controlling some H2 and O2,( yes that's the state of thy water after a through electrolysis)

Puh-lease, I can totally beat you, and even if I can't, I still will beat you (Plot armor suckas!)
Log in to reply
Confirmed, Thalia struck you a little too hard, maybe another bolt will tighten those bolts, that reminds me I haven't met her since rebirth

you do that, I gtg, bye! (I know you mentioned me in yesterday's challenge and deleted it...)

Actually I didn't delete it

Then?

Moderator deleted mostly because there was too much spam there ( by Broekhuis and Sarah not me)
Log in to reply
What were they talking about? I'm not sure Sarah would go on an off-topic convo in a dc, if a mod deleted it it has to be something terribly off-topic.

I thought you were mortal?
Log in to reply
Hi Jason! If you're in rebirth tho, how are you talking to us right now? I'm confused...?
Log in to reply
I understand your confusion Percy, I can still talk to demigods and somehow I retain my memory slightly, gaining it back as time goes, don't know how but landed up as a fifteen year old with some Papadopolofoso..something guy who I was supposed to follow
Log in to reply
You should know his name! If you're dead, then Burning Maze has already happened! That means you know who Lester is! You are forming a continuity error!!! lol
Log in to reply
I am not dead.... I am talking to you bro, and as I mentioned I really lost my memory (real life too, long time since I read any of the Percy Jackson series)
Log in to reply
Oh!? Ok...that's too much information...let me get Annabeth to help...bye! (gtg need breakfast!)
Log in to reply
Lol, U should learn about schrodinger's cat on how to be alive and dead at the same time ( just realised I recently died acc to the story but three years before acc to reality )
Log in to reply
What is going on? Jason? You were reborn as a 15 year old? I didn't know that was possible
Log in to reply
Shadow boy needs to learn more about death and rebirth it seems, just kidding, I am a special case I think, I have a mission to do which I don't know yet, mostly another short life coming up
Log in to reply
Oh, he's not in rebirth? Ok, what did he say? Is he okay?
Log in to reply
He says he is fine he is going to rebirth but he wanted to do something first, I don't know what. Btw this will be his second rebirth. My father told me so.

Wait WHAT?!? That is so cool! Would it be a satyr or a nymph tho? I should leave the thinking to Annabeth. btw She's doing great, we've finally gotten over Jason's passing. Piper's taking it pretty well too. She came over for some downtime with Me, Annabeth, Frank and Hazel. Thinking of visiting Leo and Calypso at the Waystation soon. And that includes you too cuz, we're dragging you along :)

I think it it will be a satyr, and no you aren't staging me along to see Leo, I despise him.

K, I won't pull you along...but you know Annabeth will, and you can't escape her. Don't worry, Reyna and Thalia will be there.
