Let the inscribed square side be a.


b² = 2a²

b = √(2)a cm.

b is the diagonal of the inscribed square.


c = 90+45

c = 135°


It implies, calculating a, the inscribed square side length.


10² = 5²+(√(2)a)²-2*5*√(2)acos135

100 = 25+2a²+10a

2a²+10a-75 = 0


Resolving the above quadratic equation via completing the square approach to get a, the side length of the inscribed square.


(a+(5/2))² = (75/2)+(5/2)²

(a+(5/2))² = ¼(150+25)

(a+(5/2))² = ¼(175)

a = -(5/2)±√(¼(175))

a = -(5/2)±(5√(7)/2)


It implies;


a = ½(5√(7)-5) cm.

a = 4.1143782777 cm.

Again, a is the side length of the inscribed square.


d² = 5²+4.1143782777²

d = 6.4751917818 cm.


e = (10-r) cm.

r is the radius of the inscribed orange circle.


It implies;


(10-r)² = r²+6.4751917818²

100-20r+r² = r²+41.9281086111

20r = 100-41.9281086111

20r = 58.0718913889

r = 2.9035945694 cm.


It implies, area inscribed orange circle is;

πr²

= π(2.9035945694)²

= 26.4863323122 cm²
