Two overlapping circles 2013-05-22
From Alexandra:
There are two overlapping circles. The two non-overlapping regions have areas A and B. As the area of overlap changes, the values of A and B also change. Prove that no matter how big and small the overlap is, the difference between A and B is always the same.

The distance between overlapping circles 2012-07-26
From Jeff:
I have two circles of different size that overlap one another: Circle #1 has an area(A) of 731,475, so I can calculate its radius as 482.6. Circle #2 has an area(A) of 502,517, so I can calculate its radius as 400. If I know that the area where they overlap is 179,271, how can I calculate the distance between the midpoints of these two circles?

From Monty:
If you have a 3.75" radius circle overlapping a 5" radius circle with their centers 3" apart what would be the area of the non-overlapped portion of the small circle?

Two overlapping circles 2010-04-12
From Scott:
There are two circles, big circle with radius R and small one with radius r. They intersect and overlap in such a way that the common area formed is 1/2 pi r^2 (half the area of the small circle). The Question is: suppose we have known the radius r of the small circle, and the distance between the two circle centers, what should the radius R of the large circle be?

Two overlapping circles 2010-03-07
From Hayden:
I have two circles of equal size. The radiuses of the circles are 30ft. The two circles are positioned 40ft apart and I need to find the area where they overlap.

Two overlapping circles 2009-11-19
From Raraa:
There are two identical circles . The edge of one circle is at the middle point of the other circle. There were overlapped . The area of the overlapped surface is 20000 square centimetres . How do I find the radius of the circle rounded to the nearest whole centimetre ?

Two overlapping circles 2008-04-26
From Michelle:
Two overlapping circles O and Q have the common chord AB (vertical line between the overlapping circles). If AB is 6 and circle O has a radius of length 4 (horizontal line going through the overlapping circles and touching the side of the circle) and circle Q has a radius of length 6, how long is OQ.

From Safi:
I have a problem to calculate the area of two overlapping circles because two circles are overlap then how i calculate the overlap area to subtract from the area of both circle.

Overlapping circles 2002-05-29
From Naman:
There are two circles, big circle with radius R and small one with radius r. They intersect and overlap in such a way that the common area formed is 1/2 pi r 2 (half the area of the small circle) If r=1, find the Radius of the big circle (R)?
