320-x is the portion of string for square
x is portion of string for circle, its circumference
square has side measure (320-x)/4 = 80-x/4
area is (80 - x/4)^2
circumference is x=pi*d
so x/pi = d
x/(2*pi) = r
area = pi * [x/(2*pi)]^2 = pi * x^2/(4*pi^2) = x^2/(4*pi)
(80 - x/4)^2 = x^2/(4*pi)
6400 - 40 x + x^2/16 = x^2/(4*pi)
102400*pi - 640*pi x + pi * x^2 = 4 x^2
0 = (4 - pi) x^2 + 640*pi x - 102400*pi
x=150.349
1798.83+ is the area
