If O is the center of the circle, what is the area of the black sections?

Show your work.

Ans: c) 1

if you move the black bits from the the top down to the bottom it makes two halfs as black, 0.5 + 0.5 = 1

I did it this way

A1=Rectangle ABCD area
A2=Circle area/2
A3=Trangle area
A4=Black area

A4=(A1-A2)+(A2-A3)=A1-A3 = 2-1 = 1

faultymonkey's way seems shorter
