Visualized Solution
Visualizing the Two Circles
Circle 1: x2+y2=4 (Center (0,0), Radius r=2)
Circle 2: x2+(y−2)2=4 (Center (0,2), Radius r=2)
Finding the Intersection Points
To find the enclosed region, we first need the intersection points.
Equate the two circle equations:
x2+y2=x2+(y−2)2
Solving for y
Cancel x2 from both sides: y2=(y−2)2
Expand the right side: y2=y2−4y+4
4y=4⇒y=1
Solving for x
Substitute y=1 into x2+y2=4:
x2+12=4⇒x2=3
x=±3
Intersection points: (3,1) and (−3,1)
Exploiting Symmetry
The common chord is the line y=1.
The enclosed region is perfectly symmetric about this line.
Total Area = 2× (Area of the upper segment of Circle 1)
Geometry of the Upper Segment
Focus on Circle 1 (x2+y2=4).
Distance from center (0,0) to chord y=1 is h=1.
Radius of the circle is r=2.
Finding the Central Angle θ
Let θ be the total central angle subtended by the chord.
Using trigonometry in the right triangle:
cos(2θ)=HypotenuseAdjacent=21
Calculating θ
cos(2θ)=21
2θ=3π
Total central angle: θ=32π
The Segment Area Formula
Area of a circular segment = Area of Sector - Area of Triangle
Formula: Asegment=21r2(θ−sinθ)
Substituting Values
Substitute r=2 and θ=32π:
Asegment=21(2)2(32π−sin(32π))
Calculating the Segment Area
sin(32π)=23
Asegment=2(32π−23)
Asegment=34π−3
Final Total Area
Total Area = 2×Asegment
Total Area =2(34π−3)
Total Area =38π−23=32(4π−33)

Analyzing the Setup
Welcome, fellow traveler of the JEE path. Today, we are not just solving a problem; we are exploring the elegant dance of two circles.
Imagine standing on a coordinate plane. You have one circle, x2+y2=4, sitting comfortably at the origin. It is a perfect, symmetric entity with a radius of r=2.
Now, imagine a second circle, x2+(y−2)2=4, identical in size but shifted upward so its center rests at (0,2). Where they overlap, they create a beautiful, lens-shaped region. This is our target.
The Algebra of Intersection
To begin our journey, we must find where these two worlds collide. We set the equations equal:
x2+y2=4
x2+(y−2)2=4
Since both equal 4, we can write x2+y2=x2+(y−2)2. The x2 terms vanish, a moment of algebraic grace that simplifies our path.
We are left with y2=(y−2)2. Expanding the right side, we get y2=y2−4y+4. The y2 terms cancel, leaving 4y=4, or simply y=1.
This horizontal line, y=1, is the common chord. It is the backbone of our region. Substituting y=1 back into our first circle, we find x2+1=4, so x2=3, giving us x=±3.
Our intersection points are (3,1) and (−3,1). We have mapped the territory.
The Symmetry Shortcut
Now, we face the region. Because the circles are identical, the area above the line y=1 is a perfect mirror of the area below it.
We only need to calculate the area of the upper segment of the first circle and multiply it by 2. This is the 'JEE mindset'—finding the most efficient, elegant path through the forest.
We focus on the upper segment of the circle x2+y2=4. We draw radii from the center (0,0) to the intersection points (3,1) and (−3,1). These radii have length r=2.
The distance from the center to the chord y=1 is h=1. We have a triangle with sides 2,2 and a base of 23.
The central angle θ is what we need. Using the right triangle formed by the perpendicular, we see:
cos(2θ)=21
Thus, 2θ=3π, which means θ=32π.
The Final Calculation
We are at the finish line. The area of a circular segment is the area of the sector minus the area of the triangle:
Asegment=21r2(θ−sinθ)
Substituting our values, r=2 and θ=32π, we get:
Asegment=21(2)2(32π−sin(32π))
Since sin(32π)=23, this becomes:
2(32π−23)=34π−3
Finally, we multiply by 2 to account for both segments:
2×(34π−3)=38π−23
Factoring out 32, we arrive at the final result:
32(4π−33)
You have navigated the geometry, mastered the algebra, and utilized symmetry to conquer the problem. Take a moment to appreciate the result. It is not just a number; it is the measure of the space between two circles, perfectly captured.
