Calculating yellow area.


Let x be the radius of the big inscribed circle.


Let y be the radius of the small inscribed circle.


a = (1+x) units.


b = (1-x) units.


Calculating x.


a² = 2b²

(1+x)² = 2(1-x)²

1+2x+x² = 2-4x+2x²

x²-6x+1 = 0

x²-6x+(-6/2)² = -1+(-6/2)²

x²-3x-3x+9 = -1+9

(x-3)² = 8

x = 3±2√(2)


It implies;


x = 3-2√(2)

x = 0.17157287525 units.

Again, x is the radius of the inscribed big circle.


c = x+y

c = (0.17157287525+y) units.


d = x-y

d = (0.17157287525-y) units.


e²+d² = c²


e² = (0.17157287525+y)²-(0.17157287525-y)²


e² = y²+0.3431457505y+0.02943725152-(y²-0.3431457505y+0.02943725152)


e² = 0.686291501y


e = √(0.686291501y) units.


f = 1-x-e

f = 1-0.17157287525-√(0.686291501y)

f = (0.82842712475-√(0.686291501y)) units.


g = (1+y) units.


h = (1-y) units.


Calculating y.


g² = f²+h²


(1+y)² = (0.82842712475-√(0.686291501y))²+(1-y)²

Therefore;

y = 0.08578643762 units.

Again, y is the radius of the small inscribed circle.


It implies, yellow area is;


Area square with side length 1 unit - Area quarter circle with radius 1 unit - Area circle with radius 0.17157287525 units - Area circle with radius 0.08578643762 units.


(1*1)-(¼*1*1*π)-(0.17157287525²π)-(0.08578643762²π)


= 0.09900202019 square units.
