Could anyone direct me to a formula for the area enclosed by two overlapping rings? Sketch below...

Thanks...

I realize my question was a little bit ambiguous... specifically, the area in terms of the radius of the two circles and the distance between their centers. The rings are identical.

Sorry about that.

OK, should be fixed now. Sorry, once again.
