Let AOB be one quadrant of a circle radius.

OA = OB = 10 m
Two circles OKB and OKA are made on the

centres.
OD = BD = OE = EA = 5 m
Since two circles are equal, k will be
midpoint of arc AKO and OKB.
KDO = 90

= 5 2
Area common to both circle = 2 area of
segment OXK (or OYK)
Using the formula, for central angle = 90
Area of segment OXK = 0.285 r2
