The Crescent Moon below is formed by two circles, both of which are tangent to each other. The point E is the center of the larger circle. If BH = 9, and AF = GC = 5AF=GC=5, what is the area of the shaded region?
+1005 Since FG = 5AF then it's 25, so the diameter of the larger circle is 35.
Thus the radius is 17.5, and the HE is 17.5 - 9 = 8.5
8.5 + radius = 8.5 + 17.5 = 26
26/2 = 13/
The larger circle has area of 17.5 ^2 π, and the smaller one has 169π.
I will let you solve this on your own.
I am not 100 percent sure about the correctness so if you notice any errors please inform me!
