On a coordinate plane, point denotes the origin which is the center of the diamond shape in the middle of the figure. Point
has coordinate
, and point
,
, and
are formed through
,
, and
rotation about the origin
, respectively. Quarter circle
(formed by the arc
and line segments
and
) has area
. Furthermore, another quarter circle
formed by arc
and line segments
,
is formed through a reflection of sector
across the line
. The small diamond centered at
is a square, and the area of the little square is
. Let
denote the area of the shaded region, and
denote the sum of the area of the regions
(formed by side
, arc
, and side
),
(formed by side
, arc
, and side
) and sectors
and
. Find
in the simplest radical form.
Solution
First of all, we know that . Since the area of the quarter circle is
, we can get that
Then, we can calculate the area of shaded region. It is made of two quarter circles and two right triangles. The total area would be
.
The sum of the area of the regions (formed by side
, arc
, and side
),
(formed by side
, arc
, and side
) and sectors
and
can be calculated by turning
into a square, and subtract the extra areas. Since
has length
, we know that the height of the two right triangles are
and the based are
.
. We want to also subtract the shaded quarter circle. The area is
. The region enclosed by arc
and length
is the reflection of the previous area. The area
. The region
is also the reflection. Therefore, the total area is
.
As a result, the ratio is .
