Find the area of common portion when two circles intersect as shown below
(1) Distance between the centers of two circle is 2√2.
(2) Arcs in common portion subtend 90 degree angle at the centers of respective circles.
We require to know the radius and the angle subtended by the arc from Center of each circle.
(1) Distance between the centers of two circle is 2√2.
We do not know the radius or the angle.
(2) Arcs in common portion subtend 90 degree angle at the centers of respective circles.
Angles subtended is 90.
So we can draw the figure as attached.
The line AB bisects the angle subtended from Center, so each angle is 90/2=45.
ACB = 180-45-45=90.
This triangle ACB is a right angled triangle with the two sides as r. Hypotenuse =AB=\(r\sqrt{2}\)
Combined
Now AB from statement I is \(2\sqrt{2}=r\sqrt{2}........r=2\).
We know the angle subtended from Center as 90 and radius is 2. We can find the area of common portion.
