ABCD is a square with side a. In centres A,B,C and D four circles are drawn such that each circle touches externally two of the three remaining circles. Let δ be the area interior of the square and exterior of the circles. What is the value of δ?
δ = Shaded area δ = Area of a square - (4 x ¼ area of a circle) = a² - (area of a circle) = a² - πr² but r = ᵃ⁄₂ = a² - π(ᵃ⁄₂)² = a² - ((πa²) ÷ 4) = (4a² - πa²) ÷ 4 = a² [(4 - π) ÷ 4]

Launched in 2013, Telegram allows users to broadcast messages to a following via “channels”, or create public and private groups that are simple for others to access. Users can also send and receive large data files, including text and zip files, directly via the app.The platform said it has more than 500m active users, and topped 1bn downloads in August, according to data from SensorTower.
What is Telegram?
Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging service that has been making rounds as a popular option for those who wish to keep their messages secure. Telegram boasts a collection of different features, but it’s best known for its ability to secure messages and media by encrypting them during transit; this prevents third-parties from snooping on messages easily. Let’s take a look at what Telegram can do and why you might want to use it.
