area is 1 *1 - pi(1^2) = 1 - pi
f(x) = 1
g(x) = sqrt(1-x^2)
f(x)-g(x) = 1 - sqrt(x)
x( 1 - sqrt(x)) = x - x*Sqrt(x) = x - x^(3/2)
X = integral[ x - x^(3/2) ] , x=0..1
= (1/2)x^2 - (2/5)x^(5/2), x = 0..1
= (1/2-2/5) = 1/10
(1/10)(1/(1-pi)
Y = integral ( 1 - x), x=0..1
1 - (1/2)x^2
= (1/2) - 1 = -1/2
(-1/2)(1/(1-pi))

Do you want the area inside both the circle and the square or the area outside of the circle yet in the square?10/10/19
