  1. Let the area of segment FG be k.

    From Pythagoras theorem,
    AE^2 + DE^2 = AD^2 = BC^2

    Multiply both side by π/4,
    (π/4)AE^2 + (π/4)DE^2 = (π/4)BC^2

    S1 + (S2 + k) = S + k
    S1 + S2 = S

    Let S3 is the red area ( see sketch)
    In right triangle AED we have pi/4(AD^2)=pi/4(AE^2+ED^2)
    So S+S3=S1+S2+S3 => S=S1+S2
