Problem of intersecting circles

We have point p1. Draw a circle c1 from p1 with radius r1.

We have point p2. Distance between p1 and p2 (d) equals r1. (p2 is on the perimeter of c1).

Draw a circle c2 from point p2 with radius r2.

r2 is greater than r1.

The intersecting area of these two circles is half of the area of c1.


Calculate r2.

What if r1 = 10?

Did you draw and label the circles?

The intersecting area of these two circles is half of the area of c1. That is incorrect. The intersection of the two circles is all of c1.

Assume p2 is center of circle 2. Then draw diagram. There is a value for r2 that solves problem, at least approximately.
