Calculating y, the red required angle.


It implies;


½*πr² = 32π

r = √(64)

r = 8 cm.

r is the radius of the half circle.


2r = 16 cm, the diameter of the half circle.


Let x be the radius of the inscribed circle.


a = (8-x) cm.


Calculating x.


2x² = (8-x)²

2x² = 64-16x+x²

x²+16x-64 = 0

(x+8)² = 64+(8)²

(x+8)² = 128

x = -8±√(128)

x = -8±8√(2)


It implies;


x ≠ (-8-8√(2)) cm.

x = (8√(2)-8) cm.

x = 3.31370849898 cm.

Again, x is the radius of the inscribed circle.


b = 8+x

b = 8+3.31370849898

b = 11.31370849898 cm.


tanc = 3.31370849898/11.31370849898

c = atan(3.31370849898/11.31370849898)

c = 16.3249499369°


cos16.3249499369 = d/11.31370849898

d = 11.31370849898cos16.3249499369

d = 10.8575735127 cm.


e² = 16²+10.8575735127²-2*16*10.8575735127cos16.3249499369

e = 6.36021930932 cm.


(6.36021930932/sin16.3249499369) = (16/sinf)

f = asin(0.70710678118)

f = 135°


It implies, the required red angle is;


90+y = f

90+y = 135

y = 135-90

y = 45°
