a = (10-x) cm.

10 cm is the radius of the ascribed semi circle.


12² = a²+b²

b² = 144-(100-20x+x²)

b² = 44+20x-x²

b = √(44+20x-x²) cm.


10² = x²+b²

100 = x²+44+20x-x²

56 = 20x

14 = 5x

x = (14/5) cm.

x = 2.8 cm.


Let r be the radius of the inscribed orange circle.


c = r-x

c = (r-(14/5)) cm.


d = (10-r) cm.


It implies;


d² = r²+c²

(10-r)² = r²+(r-(14/5))²

100-20r+r² = r²+r²-(28/5)r+(196/25)

100-20r = r²-(28/5)r+(196/25)

2500-500r = 25r²-140r+196

25r²+360r-2304 = 0


Resolving the above quadratic equation via completing the square approach to get r, radius of the inscribed orange circle.


r²+(180/25)r = (2304/25)+(180/25)²

(r+(180/25))² = 144

r+(180/25) = ±√(144)

r = -(180/25)±12

It implies;

r = 12-(180/25)

r = (120/25)

r = ⅕(24) cm.

r = 4.8 cm.

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


Area inscribed orange circle is;


πr²

= π(24/5)²

= (576π/25) cm²

= 72.3822947387 cm²
