The discussion focuses on calculating the area of the shaded region in a circle inscribed within a square. Key calculations include the area of the minor sector, major sector, and triangle, leading to the final area of the shaded region. The minor sector is calculated as Aminor sector = 27.947 cm2, the triangle as Atriangle = 9.8366 cm2, and the major sector as Amajor sector = 50.592 cm2. The final area of the shaded region is determined to be approximately 14.64 cm2.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, geometry enthusiasts, educators, and students looking to deepen their understanding of area calculations in circular and polygonal shapes.
Thanks for the kind compliment but if truth be told I think the method more or less duplicates that in post #15. It is just that PF user @PeroK actually evaluated the integral whereas I took the lazy guy solution of sending it off to Wolfram Alpha!chwala said:Eieeeh! Brilliant mate.
