Let the side length of the square be a.


b = ½(a) cm.

b is the radius of the inscribed half circle.


c = (a-2) cm.


d²+2² = (a-2)²

d² = a²-4a+4-4

d = √(a²-4a) cm.

d is the radius of the bigger inscribed quarter circle.


e = b+d

e = (½(a)+√(a²-4a)) cm.


Calculating a.


a²+(½(a))² = (½(a)+√(a²-4a))²

¼(5a²) = ¼(a²)+a√(a²-4a)+a²-4a

4a = a√(a²-4a)

4 = √(a²-4a)

a²-4a-16 = 0

(a-2)² = 16+(-2)²

(a-2)² = 20

a = 2±√(20)

a = 2±2√(5)


It implies;


a ≠ 2-2√(5)

a = 2+2√(5) cm.

a = 2(1+√(5)) cm

a = 6.472135955 cm.

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


Recall.


b = ½(a) 

And a = 2(1+√(5)) cm.

b = ½(2(1+√(5)))

b = (1+√(5)) cm.

b = 3.2360679775 cm.

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


f = a-2

f = 2+2√(5)-2

f = 2√(5) cm.


g²+2² = (2√(5))²

g² = 20-4

g = √(16)

g = 4 cm.

g = d, the radius of the bigger inscribed quarter circle.


h = a-d

h = 2+2√(5)-4

h = (2√(5)-2) cm.

h = 2.472135955 cm.

h is the radius of the big inscribed quarter circle.


It implies;


Area Painted is;


Area square with side length (2+2√(5)) cm - Area half circle with radius (1+√(5)) cm - Area quarter circle with radius 4 cm - Area quarter circle with radius (2√(5)-2) cm.


= (2+2√(5))²-(½*π(1+√(5))²)-(¼*π(4)²)-(¼*π(2√(5)-2)²)

= 4+8√(5)+20-(½*π(1+2√(5)+5)-4π-(¼*π(20-8√(5)+4)

= 24+8√(5)-(½*π(6+2√(5))-4π-(¼*π(24-8√(5))

= 24+8√(5)-(π(3+√(5))-4π-(π(6-2√(5))

= 24+8√(5)-3π-√(5)π-4π-6π+2√(5)π

= (24+8√(5)-13π+√(5)π) cm²

= (8(3+√(5))-π(13-√(5))) cm²

= 8.0726540544 cm²
