The area of the region enclosed between the circles x2+y2=4 and x2+(y−2)2=4 is :
(A)32(2π−33)
(B)34(2π−33)
(C)34(2π−3)
(D)32(4π−33)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Both circles have radius 2; the first is centred at (0,0) and the second at (0,2), so the centres are 2 apart. They meet where y2=(y−2)2, giving y=1 and x=±3. The region common to the two circles is a symmetric lens, with area A=4∫03(4−x2−1)dx. Using ∫4−x2dx=2x4−x2+2sin−12x, A=4[23+2⋅3π−3]=38π−23=32(4π−33).
