Problem
Two circles of radius 
are centered at 
and at 
What is the area of the intersection of the interiors of the two circles?
Solution
You can find the area of half the intersection by subtracting the isosceles triangle in the sector from the whole sector. This sector is one-fourth of the area of the circle with radius 
and the isosceles triangle is a right triangle. Therefore, the area of half the intersection is
![\[\frac{1}{4} 4\pi - \frac{1}{2}(2)(2) = \pi - 2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/7/9/97995745dee6977306ec1aeabf92f355e0f7e6d2.png)
That means the area of the whole intersection is
