Calculating Blue Area.


Let x be the radius of the ascribed half circle.


a²+7² = (2x)²

a = √(4x²-49) units.


b = a-4

b = (√(4x²-49)-4) units.


It implies;


Calculating x.


√(4x²-49) ~ x

2x ~ (√(4x²-49)-4)


Cross Multiply.


2x² = 4x²-49-4(√(4x²-49)

4(√(4x²-49) = 2x²-49

16(4x²-49) = (2x²-49)²

64x²-784 = 4x⁴-196x²+2401

4x⁴-260x²+3185 = 0


It implies;


x² = 48.6245

Or 

x² = 16.3755


Therefore;


x ≠ √(16.3755) units.

x = √(48.6245) units.

x = 6.97312698866 units.

Again, x is the radius of the half circle.


c = 2x

c = 13.9462539773 units.

c is the diameter of the half circle.


sind = 7/13.9462539773

d = 30.12756465°


tan30.12756465 = e/6.97312698866

e = 6.97312698866tan30.12756465

e = 4.04666359623 units.

e is the side length of the inscribed blue square.


Area inscribed blue square is;


= 4.04666359623²

= 16.3754862611 square units.
