  1. side of the square : 4r

    total area of 4 small circle
    4*(pi*r^2)=4(A+yellow)

    are of big circle
    4*pi*r^2=4(A+blue)

    blue=yellow

  2. Let OE = 1
    EF = OB = √2
    Area of yellow shaded area (square) = 2
    Area of outer square = 4
    Area of inner circle = π
    Area of outer circle = 2π
    Area of torus = 2π - π = π
    Area of outer white = (2 π - 4)/2 = π - 2
    Area of blue shaded area = π - (π - 2) = 2
    We are done
