Calculating Square Area X ÷ Yellow Area Y.


a² = 100

a = 10 units.

a is the side length of the inscribed blue square.


b²+c² = a²

b² = 100-c²

b = √(100-c²) units.

b is the base of the green inscribed triangle with area 24 square units and c is the height.


Calculating c.


½*bc = 24

√(100-c²)*c = 48

(100-c²)c² = 48²

c⁴-100c² = -48²

c⁴-100c²+(-50)² = -48²+(-50)²

(c²-50)² = 196

c² = 50±√(196)

c² = 50±14


It implies;


c = √(50-14)

Or

c = √(50+14)


c = 6 units.

Or

c = 8 units.


Notice.


It implies,


c = 8 units, the height of the green inscribed triangle.


c = b = 6 units, the base of the green inscribed triangle.


Let d be the side length of Square X.


There;


d = b+c

d = 6+8

d = 14 units.

Again, d be the side length of Square X.


Therefore, Square Area X is;


d²

= 14²

= 196 square units.


Calculating e, radius of the inscribed yellow circle.


½(10e)+½(6e)+½(8e) = ½(6*8)


5e+3e+4e = 24

12e = 24

e = 2 units.

Again, e is the radius of the inscribed yellow circle.


Therefore,


Yellow Area Y is;


πe²

= π(2)²

= 4π square units.


It then implies that,


Square Area X ÷ Yellow Area Y is;


196÷(4π)


= 49/π
