Below is an image of a square, 7 cm to a side, with four quarter-circles inscribed into it as showm.
Find the area of the shaded region in the center.
So, let's see...
A single quarter's area is πR²/4, or 49π/4. (Let's call this A
q)
The area of the square is 49. Designate this as As
Consider the circle quarters in the upper left and lower-right corner. Together, they cover the whole square. The area of the overlap between them is (2*Aq) - As
Not yet sure what comes next...
