Let the radius of the red inscribed circle be r.


Calculating r.


2a² = 6²

a = √(18)

a = 3√(2) units.


2b² = 8²

b = √(32)

b = 4√(2) units.


c² = 6²+8²

c = √(36+64)

c = 10 units.


10² = 2d²

d² = 50

d = √(50)

d = 5√(2) units.

d is the radius of the yellow ascribed semi circle.


(5√(2))² = e²+(4√(2))²

e² = 50-32

e = √(18)

e = a =  3√(2) units.


f = b-e

f = 4√(2)-3√(2)

f = √(2) units.

f is length OD.


g = d-r

g = (5√(2)-r) units.


h² = 2r²

h = √(2)r units.


It implies;


g² = h²+f²

(5√(2)-r)² = (√(2)r)²+(√(2))²

50-10√(2)r+r² = 2r²+2

r²+10√(2)r-48 = 0


Resolving the quadratic equation via completing the square approach.


(r+5√(2))² = 48+(5√(2))²

(r+5√(2))² = 98

r = -5√(2)±√(98)

r = -5√(2)±7√(2)


Therefore;

r ≠ -5√(2)-7√(2)

r = -5√(2)+7√(2)

r = 2√(2) units.

Again, r is the radius of the red inscribed circle.


Therefore, area red inscribed circle is;

πr²

= π(2√(2))²

= 8π square units.

= 25.1327412287 square units.
