Excellent work! I think another way of looking at it is to determine that the half lengths of the square is x/2, and by using the line you drew for the triangle you would quickly find that y actually is 5 - x/2, thus making the equation being: (5 - x/2)squared + (5-x) squared = 5 squared.

Choose a coordinate system such that its origin is at the center of the bottom edge of the red square, y and x axes point towards up and to the right respectively. Since the top right corner (x,y) is on the circle we can write (x-r)²+(y-r)²=r² and if that point (and its mirror image on the other circle) would be moved a bit on the circle, it would distort the red square into a rectangle. The only way it will remain square is when y=2x. Substitute y into the equation of the circle and solve for x: (x-r)²+(2x-r)²=r². x²-2rx+r²+4x²-4rx+r²=r². 5x²-6rx+r²=0. Solutions: x=r and x=r/5. Reject the first and the area is A=2xy=4x²=4r²/25=4

For a general solution, using: "r" for Radius; "L" for lenght of the square side; the triangle drawn at 00:26, Use sin^2+cos^2=1. Sin=(r-L/2)/r ; Cos=(r-L)/r. Solving for L, you get a 2nd degree equation in which the solutions are 2r and 2r/5. As you know the side L is smaller than R, the only valid answer is 2r/5. For radius=5, L becomes 2, thus the Area (L²) = 4.

At 1:03 , we can define 5 + 5 = 2y + x , which gives us y = 5 - x/2 From here, you can use this result in Pythagoras, (5-x)^2 + (5 - x/2)^2 = 5^2 leading to a straightforward simplification of a quadratic giving the same results as you, 10 and 2. Personally I think this method is easier as you don’t have to deal with y, since you already know what it is, and it is quicker. Although, we all get the same answer in the end.

Really enjoyed this video, Andy - awesome! I had to roll up my sleeves, brush off engineering degree from decades ago and give it a shot! I happened to solve it with a much simpler approach. If the x-y axis is drawn right between the circles and at the bottom of the circles. Equation of the circle (x-5)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 25 must satisfy the point (a/2, a) on it, where "a" is the side of the square. Plugging this point into the equation for circle and solving for "a" will lead to same two values Andy reached (10 and 2). Bam!

I solved it by considering the horizontal line at the bottom to be the x-axis, and the vertical line between the two circles to be the y-axis, so that half of the red square is in the first quadrant. Then the top right vertex of the square can be the point (x,y). x is half the side length of the square and y is the whole side length, so we have y=2x. Substituting this into the equation of the right circle (x-5)^2+(y-5)^2 = 25 yields a quadratic that can be solved yielding x=1 and x=5, the former corresponding to a square with side length 2 and area 4.

Bro that was insane. Keep it up, love math.

This was delightful to watch. Keep it up!

Video title is genius.

You can also put the origin at the center of the bottom side of the red square and look at the coordinate of top right corner, we have: 1) y=2x from the square 2) (x-5)²+(y-5)²=5² from the right circle equation Putting 1 into 2, we get : (x-5)²+(2x-5)²=25 that give 5x² - 30x + 25 = 0 and then x² - 6x + 5 = 0. 1 is pretty obvious as a root, so it factor in (x-1)(x-5)=0 and since x=5m doesn't fit we have x=1 Right half of red square is 1*2=2m² so answer is 4m² It avoid a bunch of square roots and pythagore

Try the equation for circle with origin at the lower point of a square that encapsulates the circle. The equation is (x-5)^2+(y-5)^2=25. But from the small square, you also know that at the point of contact of that square with the circle, y=2x. Simultaneous solution is x=1,y=2 or x=5,y=10. If x=1, then y=2, it is the square's side, so area is 4.

Actually, if you consider the x=10 as a possible solution, you can see that it leads to another square, which has a side along the horizontal line to which both circles are tangent, but now the square is made by the whole distance between the tangent points, and the two diameters. If you imagine the two radii in each circle moving, the two solutions reflect the two possible perfect squares which can be built so that a side is along the tangent (horizontal line): one when the x is 2 and one when the x is 10.

maths is my fave subject back in high school. I really enjoy solving this type of problems. it has been more than a decade since I left school. I missed this :")

very nice one. watching you all the way from Uganda!

If θ is the angle defined by the horizontal radius of the left circle and its common point with the square, then sinθ=(5-x)/5 and cosθ=(5-x/2)/5. Then squaring both sides of the equations and adding them together and because sin^2(θ)+cos^2(θ)=1, solving for x we get x=2.

I did it through a bit of approximation. I drew an imaginary rectangle that encompasses both the circles from the outer side. Then I calculated the area of the rectangle which would be 200 meter squared, and the area of circles combined which would be π×(r)^2 = 158 (π value approx 3.14...taken so 157+a small value considered to be 1) , then we get the empty area in the rectangle without the circles which is 200-158= 42. Now if you have imagined the rectangle you already know that there are 6 different empty spaces in the figure and the ones in the corners are half of the ones in the middle. So in total there are 8 spaces as such and the ones we want are the two in the bottom centre, so 8/2 = 4, and 42/4 = 10.5 Then through extreme approximation just by looking at the figure and assuming that the square is surrounded by three triangles and a little excess curved area we can come to the conclusion that the square is about 2 triangles in area + 3 surrounding triangles + excess area, which would be 5 triangles in total and a little excess area(0.25 part ,not area in m) . So since we are concerned about only the square(2 triangles), 2/5.25 × 10.5 = 4 Now I got the answer to be exact 4(which as shown in the video is right), but if the values change in the question still I would have gotten a approx answer, which I could have rounded up to the closest whole number. And if there were options then it becomes even easier. (I was in the train and couldn't get my notebook so had to resort to approximation. Also the method shown in the video is very good, I'll remember that. Also I speculate that since I got the answer exact right maybe the ratio for the area between those two circles might be actually somewhere around 2/5.25 for all circles?, Idk but I'll look into it seems interesting.)

Another way to solve this problem is to think about the dimensions of the square as two separate functions. The base of the square starts out at 2r and goes to 0 where the two circles touch. This width can be defined as 2r-2rsin(Θ). Similarly, the height of the square would start at 0, and work its way up to r. The height can be defined as r-rcos(Θ). From there this problem can be seen as the unique case where the width and height are the same, and so 2r-2rsin(Θ)=r-rcos(Θ). There's a little bit of trig involved from this point, but r cancels out almost immediately leaving just Θ to solve for, which should end up as 2*invtan(1/2) or roughly 53°. Plugging back into either the width or height equation gives a side length of 2 for the square.

Cut off the top half of the circles so we have an actual function, defined from -5 to 15 Now we just need to analyze the function a bit, let's call it f, and we need to find where f(x) = 2(5-x) And the are will be f(x)^2

I just looked at it and thought "Yeah that looks about a 2"

what a great explanation. thanks!

Excellente résolution et plaisant à regarder 🏆

Is it just me or does his room look like the room from fnaf 4?

I was thinking the same too😂

You can make it much easier without calculations: One side of the triangle = 5, one side of the triangle = 5-x, one side of the triangle we can call 5-1/2x (instead of y, because the other half occupies the area next to the other circle). As a conclusion c^2 (=25) = (c-1/2x)^2 + (c-x)^2 And anyone that has calculated the most basic numbers of this formula sees that 5^2= 4^2 + 3^2 . That shows us x= 5-3 = 2 . I m not a math pro but I thought maybe it can make things more visible. Keep going my friend you make a lot of people stimulate their brain. Much love from romania and sorry for my bad English! ❤

A right triangle with a hypotenuse=5 does not always have sides of 4 and 3, however. So you still have to do most of the calculations

One of most valuable things i have seen today or maybe last month on YT. Congratz.

Damn that was actually fun !

I got the same when I paused, but just used the quadratic formula to get the roots. I also threw away the mirror image and solved for a rectangle of width x/2 and height x. Keeps this 65 year old brain in shape. 😉

I had the exact same approach, nice Great job by the way

Me ha gustado bastante el problema. Yo lo resolví así: primero sistema de ecuaciones con cos(a)=1-x/10 Cos(90-a)=1-x/5 Elevas al cuadrado ambas ecuaciones y las sumas, y obtienes que 1=(1-x/10)^2 +(1-x/5)^2. Y de aquí llegas a la misma ecuación de segundo grado y listo...

Its so relaxing listening to someone explain and solve problems like this without any stress or stakes. Makes me miss learning so much

It's 3am in the morning, I can't sleep. Then this pops into my FYP. Thanks OP! For stimulating my brain 🤣

You could simply use pytagoras on the triangle in view: (5-x)^2 + (5-x/2)^2 = 5^2

Actually not valid since the diagonal of the square would not go through the center of the circle (if you would make the diagonal longer)

I saw that a single circle defined the length of a side of the square vertically and half the length of a side of the square horizontally, so instead of using an arbitrary y variable, I set it equal to 5 - x (x in this case being half of your x). I then followed the same process you did and got x = 5, 1 (since mine were half what yours were).

woahh this is super cool!!

Thankyou to make me remember my school days

This question used to be a simple question in the general university exam prepared by the ÖSYM institution in Turkey, almost like a snack.

Pythagorean would have given the length of 3 right away at 0:54. Going the 5-x route complicated things unnecessarily imo.

How do you know it’s the 3/4/5 without the restrictions from the circles?

@@wilsonwang8653 the definition of the problem dictates it. Look again.

That was the most impressive thing I’ve seen

This was awesome

I see what you did here with that title

Always enjoy your thoughtful content, Andy. How about this? Distance from the circle center to the center of square bottom side is 5√2. Then a little isosceles triangle inside the square has hypotenuse = 5√2 - 5 = √2. So the sides of this little triangle = 1. And since they are half the side of the square, the square side = 2x1 = 2 and area = 2x2.

Bro 5 root 2 - 5 is not root 2

that was freaking awsome

I REMEMBER THIS PROBLEM. It took an hour and I gave up afterwards but when you showed the part where the two radii adding up to 10 is directly on top (and therefore the same length as) the square + both the distances to its perpendicular radius it all made sense, what a wonderful treat
