Let R radius OC and r radius of circle D.
ReplyDeleteLet x distance of D to segment OB. Then x^2 = (R+r)^2-(R-r)^2=4Rr.
Radius OB is equal to 2R, and then:
2R=r+sqrt(x^2+r^2) -> R=2r -> S = (pi/4)*R^2 (1)
A(AOB) = (pi/4)*(2R)^2 - (pi/2)*R^2 = (pi/2)*R^2 = S + S1 + S2 + S3 (2)
By eq (1) and (2), we've: S = A(AOB)/2 = S1 + S2 + S3

Let the radius of circle D be r, that of the semicircle be R so that the radius of the quarter circle is 2R
ReplyDeleteWriting the altitude of Tr. CDO in 2 ways we have
(2R-r)^2 - r^2 = (R+r)^2 - (R-r)^2 which yields upon simplification that R = 2r
So S1 + S2 +S3 = 1/4pi (2R)^2 -1/2piR^2 - pir^2 which when simplified using R = 2r is = to pir^2 = S
