Curvilinear Double-Axe

Curvilinear Double-Axe: a composite plane figure made of a circle of radius 4.4 cm, minus a circle of radius 2.8 cm, minus a circle of radius 2.8 cm. It is a classic high school (grades 11–12) geometry problem (“Archimedes & Hippocrates”). The net area is 39.54 cm² and the total perimeter is 30.21 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = π·R² − 2·A_lente(R, r, R)

The parts overlap or intersect, so the net area (39.54 cm²) comes from the exact Boolean operation rather than from a plain sum of the part areas.
