Question 233317: Two circles, both with the diameter 1.2 meter are placed so that there centers are 0.6 meter apart from each other. How big area does the two circles cover? I have tried to write a picture over it and tried with the formulas for sectors and segments but I can't come up with the right answer. I know it's about 1.82 squaremeters but an explanation would be great.
thanks
