The common (lens) region between the two circles has area 8π3−23\dfrac{8\pi}{3}-2\sqrt3.

Concept. Both circles have radius 22; centres (0,0)(0,0) and (2,0)(2,0). They intersect where the curves are equal — the overlapping lens is symmetric about x=1x=1.

Intersection: subtracting x2+y2=4x^2+y^2=4 from (x−2)2+y2=4(x-2)^2+y^2=4 gives −4x+4=0⇒x=1-4x+4=0\Rightarrow x=1, and then y2=3y^2=3, so points (1,±3)(1,\pm\sqrt3).

By symmetry the required area is

A=2[∫014−(x−2)2 dx+∫124−x2 dx].A=2\left[\int_0^{1}\sqrt{4-(x-2)^2}\,dx+\int_1^{2}\sqrt{4-x^2}\,dx\right].

Using ∫a2−t2 dt=t2a2−t2+a22sin⁡−1ta\displaystyle\int\sqrt{a^2-t^2}\,dt=\frac{t}{2}\sqrt{a^2-t^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{t}{a} with a=2a=2:

First integral (put t=x−2t=x-2, limits −2→−1-2\to-1): value =2π3−32=\dfrac{2\pi}{3}-\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}.
