Given the Vertices, Find the Area (Posted on 2023-08-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Consider square with vertices at (1,1), (-1,1), (-1, -1), and (1, -1).

S is the region which consists of all points inside the square which are nearer to the origin than any edge of this square.

Determine the area of S.

"nearer to the origin than any edge of this square." can be interpreted two ways:

nearer to the origin than to any edge of this square.

or

nearer to the origin than any edge of this square is.

The latter is too easy: pi/4, the area of a circle of radius 1/2, so the former locution must be meant.

I guess it's more of a clarification/assumption, rather than a question.
