3. Total area of sector AOC = pi(36)/ 3 = 12pi units^2
If the orange area = the blue area.....then, by symmetry......area BCEF = the orange area
And the area of the sector formed by OED = the blue area.....so......all these areas are equal and they divide the total area of sector AOC into 4 equal parts.......so area ODEF (1/2) the area of sector AOC = 6pi units^2
So....we have that OD is the radius of the the smaller circle
And we have:
1/3 area of the smaller circle = Area ODEF = [ pi * OD^2] / 3
6pi = [ pi * OD^2] / 3 multiply both sides by 3
18 = OD^2
OD = √18 units = 3√2 units = about 4.24 units
