Question 45

MediumOriginal question

What is the area of the region inside the circle x2+y2=25x^{2} + y^{2} = 25 and outside the square ∣x∣+∣y∣=5\lvert x \rvert + \lvert y \rvert = 5?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. In the first quadrant the side of the square is the chord x+y=5x + y = 5; the piece there is ∫05(25−x2−(5−x))dx=25π4−252\int_0^{5} \left(\sqrt{25 - x^{2}} - (5 - x)\right)dx = \frac{25\pi}{4} - \frac{25}{2}.

  2. The four quadrants give equal pieces: 4(25π4−252)=25π−504\left(\frac{25\pi}{4} - \frac{25}{2}\right) = 25\pi - 50 square units.

Worth noting

25π4−252\frac{25\pi}{4} - \frac{25}{2} is the piece in one quadrant; the square cuts off four equal pieces.
