As shown in the figure, line segment is trisected by points and so that Three semicircles of radius and have their diameters on , lie in the same halfplane determined by line , and are tangent to line at and respectively. A circle of radius has its center at The area of the region inside the circle but outside the three semicircles, shaded in the figure, can be expressed in the form where and are positive integers and and are relatively prime. What is
Solution:
Firstly, notice so the arc must have length Since the area under semicircles is equal to the area of the arc minus the area of that area is Then, the gray area above is a semicircle Finally, the gray area consists of four of the following shapes. \t\t
The squares have side length so it has area The quarter circle has area Therefore, the total amount of gray is We multiply this by since there are of these shapes, yielding an area of
The total area is This makes our answer
Thus, the answer is E .
