Notice!


The side length of the small inscribed square is twice the side length of the big inscribed square.


Let the side length of the small inscribed square be a units 


Therefore, the side length of the big inscribed square is 2a units.


Radius of the ascribed semi circle is 1 unit.


It implies;


1² = (2a)²+a²

1 = 5a²

a = √(1/5)

a = ⅕√(5) units.

a is the side length of the small square.


Let b be the radius of the inscribed shaded circle.


c = (1-b) units.


d = (⅕√(5)+b)


Therefore, calculating b.


2(⅕√(5)+b)² = (1-b)²

2(⅕+⅕(2√(5)b)+b²) = 1-2b+b²

⅖+⅘√(5)b+2b² = 1-2b+b²

b²+(⅘√(5)b+2b)+⅖-1 = 0

b²+⅕(4√(5)+10)b-⅗ = 0

(b+⅕(2√(5)+5))² = ⅗+1.894427191²

(b+1.894427191)² = 4.188854382

b = -1.894427191±√(4.188854382)

It implies;

b = -1.894427191+√(4.188854382)

b = -1.894427191+2.0466690944

b = 0.1522419034 units.

Again, b is the radius of the inscribed shaded circle.


Area shaded inscribed circle is;


π(0.1522419034)²

= 0.0728145689 square units.
