let 10cm=a  eq. of circle with centre as top  left corner is  y=a−(√(a^2 −x^2 ))   Area of bottom unshaded  region =2∫_0 ^(  a/2) [a−(√(a^2 −x^2 )) ]dx  =2[ax−(x/2)(√(a^2 −x^2 ))−(a^2 /2)sin^(−1) ((x/a))]_0 ^(a/2)   =2[(a^2 /2)−((a^2 (√3))/8)−((πa^2 )/(12))]  Shaded area =a^2 −8[(a^2 /2)−((a^2 (√3))/8)−((πa^2 )/(12))]      =−3a^2 +a^2 (√3)+((2π)/3)a^2   with a=10cm  Shaded Area=100(((2π)/3)+(√3)−3)cm^2           ≈ 100(2.095+1.732−3)cm^2           ≈ 82.7 cm^2  .

I dont understand how can u get y = a − (√(a^2  − x^2 ))

$${I}\:{dont}\:{understand}\:{how}\:{can}\:{u}\:{get}\:{y}\:=\:{a}\:−\:\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$

let a=10  b=2a×sin ((30°)/2)=2a×sin 15°=a (√(2−(√3)))  A_(shade) =8×⌢+4×Δ+1×□  =8×(a^2 /2)((π/6)−sin 30^° )+4×(b/2)×(((√3)b)/2)+b^2   =4a^2 ((π/6)−(1/2))+((√3)+1)(2−(√3))a^2   =(((2π)/3)+(√3)−3)a^2   ≈82.64 cm^2

Thanks Sir! Can it be solved even  without trigonomeric ratios.
