Diagonal Square Petal

Diagonal Square Petal: a composite plane figure made of a circle of radius 5.6 cm, intersected with a circle of radius 5.6 cm. It is a classic high school (grades 11–12) geometry problem (“Lenses & Reuleaux”). The net area is 17.87 cm² and the total perimeter is 17.59 cm.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = ½·(π − 2)·l²

The parts overlap or intersect, so the net area (17.87 cm²) comes from the exact Boolean operation rather than from a plain sum of the part areas.
