![Two arcs having their centers on a circle are cutting each other at a single point inside the circle and thus dividing the circle in four regions. If the arcs cut each other in a:b & c:d ratios what is the ratio between four regions of the circle when the circle has radius R,the arc divided in a:b has radius r_1 and the arc divided in c:d has radius r_2 .](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q68761.png)
