As shown in the figure, line segment AD\overline{AD} is trisected by points BB and CC so that AB=BC=CD=2.AB=BC=CD=2. Three semicircles of radius 1,1, AEB^,\widehat{AEB}, BFC^,\widehat{BFC}, and CGD^,\widehat{CGD}, have their diameters on AD\overline{AD}, lie in the same halfplane determined by line ADAD, and are tangent to line EGEG at E,F,E,F, and G,G, respectively. A circle of radius 22 has its center at F.F. The area of the region inside the circle but outside the three semicircles, shaded in the figure, can be expressed in the form abπc+d,\frac{a}{b}\cdot\pi-\sqrt{c}+d, where a,b,c,a,b,c, and dd are positive integers and aa and bb are relatively prime. What is a+b+c+d?a+b+c+d?

Solution:

Firstly, notice FD=1,FD = 1, so the arc XZ{XZ} must have length 2arccos12=2π3.2 \arccos{\dfrac 12} = \dfrac {2\pi} 3 . Since the area under semicircles is equal to the area of the arc minus the area of FXZ,FXZ, that area is θ2r2FXFZsinXFZ2\dfrac \theta {2} r^2 - \dfrac{FX\cdot FZ \sin XFZ}2 =222π3222322= \dfrac{2\cdot 2^2 \pi}{3\cdot 2} - \dfrac{2\cdot 2 \frac {\sqrt{3}} 2}2 =43π3.= \frac 43 \pi - \sqrt 3 . Then, the gray area above EGEG is a semicircle 12r2π=124π=2π.\frac 12 r^2 \pi= \frac 12 \cdot 4 \pi = 2\pi. Finally, the gray area consists of four of the following shapes. \t\t

The squares have side length 11 so it has area 1.1. The quarter circle has area π4r2=π4.\frac \pi 4 r^2 = \frac \pi 4. Therefore, the total amount of gray is 1π4.1- \frac \pi 4. We multiply this by 44 since there are 44 of these shapes, yielding an area of 4π.4- \pi.

The total area is 43π3+2π+4π\frac 43 \pi - \sqrt 3 + 2 \pi + 4 -\pi =73π3+4.= \frac 73 \pi - \sqrt 3 + 4. This makes our answer 7+3+3+4=17.7+3+3+4 = 17.

Thus, the answer is E .
