The region is the circular segment of the unit circle cut off by the chord x+y=1x+y=1, on the side away from the origin.

The region is {(x,y):x2+y2≤1, x+y≥1}\{(x,y): x^2+y^2\le1,\ x+y\ge1\} — inside the unit circle and on the far side of the line x+y=1x+y=1 from the origin.

Intersection points: substitute y=1−xy=1-x into x2+y2=1x^2+y^2=1:

x2+(1−x)2=1⇒2x2−2x=0⇒x=0 or x=1x^2+(1-x)^2=1 \Rightarrow 2x^2-2x=0 \Rightarrow x=0\text{ or }x=1

So the circle and line meet at (1,0)(1,0) and (0,1)(0,1).

The required area is the segment between the quarter-circle arc from (1,0)(1,0) to (0,1)(0,1) and the chord joining them:

Area=(quarter-circle sector area)−(triangle area)\text{Area} = \text{(quarter-circle sector area)} - \text{(triangle area)}
