The shaded region below has area a+b\pi where a and b are positive integers. What is a+b? (You may assume the boundary of each region is made up of straight lines and circular arcs, and the squares of the grid have side length $1.$)

E = (10, 10sqrt 3)  F = (10sqrt 3, 10)

 

The area is compsed of a  square whose  area = EF^2  = [ 2(10 - 10sqrt3)]^2  =  400 (2 -sqrt 3) =

800 - 400sqrt 3

 

And  4  equal sectors  =  4 [ pi /6 * 20^2  - (1/2) (20^2) sqrt (3) /2)]  = 4 (200pi/3 - 100) =

(800/3)pi  - 400

 

Total area =  400 - 400sqrt 3 + (800/3)pi =    400 [ 1 - sqrt 3 + 2 pi / 3 ]
