Vesica Piscis Lens

Vesica Piscis Lens: a composite plane figure made of a circle of radius 4.8 cm, intersected with a circle of radius 4.8 cm. It is a classic high school (grades 11–12) geometry problem (“Lenses & Reuleaux”). The net area is 28.27 cm² and the total perimeter is 20.1 cm.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = R²·(2π/3 − √3/2)

The parts overlap or intersect, so the net area (28.27 cm²) comes from the exact Boolean operation rather than from a plain sum of the part areas.
