1.5 diagram 1
Figure 1 shows two circles, C1\displaystyle C_1 and C2\displaystyle C_2, each with a radius of 6cm\displaystyle 6\,\mathrm{cm}.
The centre of C1\displaystyle C_1 is O1\displaystyle O_1 such that O1\displaystyle O_1 lies on C2\displaystyle C_2. The centre of C2\displaystyle C_2 is O2\displaystyle O_2 such that O2\displaystyle O_2 lies on C1\displaystyle C_1.
The circles intersect at the points A\displaystyle A and B\displaystyle B and enclose the region R\displaystyle R, shown shaded in Figure 1.
The area of region R\displaystyle R is Pcm2\displaystyle P\,\mathrm{cm}^2.
Find the exact value of P\displaystyle P, giving your answer in the form
aπbc,a\pi-b\sqrt{c},
where a\displaystyle a, b\displaystyle b and c\displaystyle c are integers.
