If regions A and B have equal  areas, determine R/r .
$${If}\:{regions}\:{A}\:{and}\:{B}\:{have}\:{equal} \\ $$$${areas},\:{determine}\:{R}/{r}\:. \\ $$

sin (α/2)=(r/R)=λ  ⇒α=2 sin^(−1) λ  sin α=2 sin (α/2) (√(1−sin^2  (α/2)))=2λ(√(1−λ^2 ))  (R^2 /2)(2 sin^(−1) λ−2λ(√(1−λ^2 )))=((πr^2 )/4)  ⇒sin^(−1) λ=λ(((πλ)/4)+(√(1−λ^2 )))  ⇒λ=(r/R)≈0.84945
$$\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{{r}}{{R}}=\lambda \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\alpha=\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \lambda \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha=\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{2}}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{2}}}=\mathrm{2}\lambda\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\frac{{R}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \lambda−\mathrm{2}\lambda\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} }\right)=\frac{\pi{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \lambda=\lambda\left(\frac{\pi\lambda}{\mathrm{4}}+\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} }\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{{r}}{{R}}\approx\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{84945} \\ $$

Thanks Sir, I got the same,  (R/r)≈1.1772265

Please  may  I  know  how  you  managed  𝛌  ?  I  arrived  at  sin^(−1) λ=λ(((πλ)/4)+(√(1−λ^2 )))  but  didn′t  know  what  to  do  with  λ.  How  did  you  do  that ?

it is not possible to solve the equation  exactly. usually i use the app Grapher  to get the approximation.

Oh!  I see.  And  I  was  struggling  to  get  the  answer  directly.  haha!
