Dare2solve | Semicircle inside a Quarter circle - Semicircle area

This question was uploaded on 07/10/21 on social media accounts.

A semicircle is placed in a quarter-circle. The diameter of the quarter circle is the same as the radius of the quarter-circle.



Solution 1:

\[r^2+1^2=(2r)^2\]
\[\Rightarrow r^2=\frac{1}{3}\]
\[\Rightarrow Area=\frac{\pi}{2} r^2=\frac{\pi}{6}\]


Solution 2:

Intersecting chord theorem assuming complete circle:
\[(r)(3r)=1^2\]
\[\Rightarrow r^2=\frac{1}{3}\]
\[\Rightarrow Area=\frac{\pi}{2} r^2=\frac{\pi}{6}\]
