2004 AMC 12B Problems/Problem 7

From AoPSWiki

The following problem is from both the 2004 AMC 12B #7 and 2004 AMC 10B #9, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem 7

A square has sides of length 10, and a circle centered at one of its vertices has radius 10. What is the area of the union of the regions enclosed by the square and the circle?

(\mathrm {A}) 200+25\pi \quad (\mathrm {B}) 100+75\pi \quad (\mathrm {C}) 75+100\pi \quad (\mathrm {D}) 100+100\pi \quad (\ma...

Solution

The area of the circle is S_{\bigcirc}=100\pi, the area of the square is S_{\square}=100.

Exactly 1/4 of the circle lies inside the square. Thus the total area is \dfrac34 S_{\bigcirc} + S_{\square} = \boxed{100+75\pi} \Longrightarrow \mathrm{(B)}.
