Four equal circles intersect: What is the area of the small shaded portion and its height












3












$begingroup$


In terms of $R$ which is the radius of all four circles, what is the area of the intersection region of these four equal circles and the height of the marked arrow in the figure? The marked arrow is along the line CD, also the midpoint of all the circles are points A, B, C and D. Looking for a very short intuitive solution. I have checked similar questions on this site for example this and this.

    Then just use one of the previous solutions, since you know the angle.

    Thanks! I think its clear now! I need to subtract the area of the sector from the triangle to get the small area and then multiply by two. What about the height any clues?

enter image description hereIf you repeat this pattern infinitely, you'll find that each circle consists of $12$ of these football shaped areas, together with $6$ 'triangular' areas in between (see red circle in figure). So, setting the area of the footballs to $A$, and that of the triangles to $B$, we have:



$pi^2=12A +6B$ (I am setting radius to $1$ ... you can easily adjust for $R$)



OK, now consider the green rectangle formed by four of the points on a circle. We see that the height of such a rectangle is equal to the radius, so that is $1$, and the width is easily found to be $sqrt{3}$, and this area includes $4$ whole footballs, $2$ half footballs, $2$ whole 'triangles', and $4$ half triangles. So:



$sqrt{3}=5A+4B$



Now you can easily solve for $A$

Notice that the area of the equilateral triangle with edge $R$ plus $frac12$ the area of the shaded region is $frac16$ the area of the circle. The height of the triangle is $frac{Rsqrt3}{2}$ and the area is $frac12cdot Rcdotfrac{Rsqrt3}{2}=frac{R^2sqrt3}{4}$. The area of the shaded region is:
$$2left(frac{pi R^2}{6}-frac{R^2sqrt3}{4}right)=frac{2pi R^2}{6}-frac{3R^2sqrt3}{6}=frac{R^2(2pi-3sqrt3)}{6}$$
Also notice that the height of the triangle plus $frac12$ the height of the shaded area is equal to the radius of the circle. The height of the shaded area is:
$$2left(R-frac{Rsqrt3}{2}right)=2R-Rsqrt3=R(2-sqrt3)$$

SQL Server 17 - Attemping to backup to remote NAS but Access is denied

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 0 I was attemping to use Ola Hallengrens scripts to backup to a remote NAS, but it was failing and not giving any direct errors, so I tried doing it manually using Server Management Studio and got the following error: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Failed to retrieve data for this request.

0 My explanation will be opinion based as it is based on my findings. If more information is needed, I am always happy to add it. The setup We have 4 SQL Server 2016 Instances, and all 4 underlying servers are in a WSFC (In my eyes a strange setup since Always On AG's are 2 by 2. But that is a different question.) 4 nodes + Fileshare witness Version: 13.0.5026.0 (all nodes) The instances that are having the failover issues are instances 1 & 2. They have 3 AG's between them. AG1 is primary on instance 1 and is having the issue. AG2 and AG3 are primary on instance 2. Instances 3 and 4 have their own separate AG's (2). AG1's settings The week before Last week, after checking for long running queries (none) and the synchronization state (green accross the board) we initiated a

Restoring from pg_dump with foreign key constraints

Image
5 2 In restoring a database from a pg_dump , a number of errors are being generated and the whole table is subsequently being ignored. An example: ERROR: insert or update on table "channelproducts" violates foreign key constraint "fk_rails_dfaae373a5" DETAIL: Key (channel_id)=(1) is not present in table "channels". Interestingly enough, I've noted that all these instances are popping up because of the sequence of loading. channels is after channelproducts both alphabetically and in the file and thus I can understand why postgres complains about having to create a child without a parent. caveat: the foreign key is being generated automatically by rails 4.2: I could remove the problem at the source but that still does not really solve the problem... version: PostgreSQL
