The 2 green points in the diagram are the midpoints of 2 adjacent sides of a regular hexagon.

Which is larger, the red area or the blue area?

The diagram above shows that a semicircle is inscribed in a quartercirclewhile a small circle is inscribed in the semicircle. Given that A D = A E AD=AE and theradiusof the quarter circle is 14 2 cm 14\sqrt{2} \text{ cm} , find the area of the green region above (in cm 2 \text{cm}^{2} ).

For your final step, use the approximation π = 22 7 \pi = \dfrac{22}{7} .

I begin with a circle of radius 1 cm 1 \text{ cm} , which becomes the inscribed circle of an equilateral triangle, which I enclose with its circumcircle (the circle that touches all of its vertices). I enclose this circle with a square (so that each edge touches the circle once), and surround this with the square's circumcircle. I repeat this procedure with a pentagon, a hexagon, and so on forever (increasing the side number by one, until we reach an infinity-sided polygon).

What is the limiting area (in cm 2 \text{cm}^2 ) of the "final" circle, rounded to a whole number?

A B C D ABCD is a square with points E E and F F lying on sides C D CD and A D , AD, respectively. If the purple area is [ B H G I ] = 120 , [BHGI]=120, what is the sum of the pink areas [ A H F ] + [ F G E D ] + [ I C E ] ? (AHF) + (fg) +[ICE]?

What is the area of the large square?
