Area of square section of window=s%5E2
Area of semicircle section of the window=pi%2As%5E2%2F8
Note: radius of semicircle portion is %28s%2F2%29
Total area of window(At) equals area of square section plus area of semicircle section or:
At=s%5E2%2Bpi%2As%5E2%2F8 and this equals:
At=s%5E2%2B%283.14%2F8%29%2As%5E2 which equals:
At=s%5E2%2B0.3925%2As%5E2 and we have
At=1.3925%2As%5E2
