Could anyone direct me to a formula for the area enclosed by two overlapping rings? Sketch below...
Thanks...

The formula for calculating the area of overlapping rings is A = π * (r12 - r22), where r1 and r2 are the radii of the two overlapping rings.
The radii of the overlapping rings can be determined by measuring the distance from the center of each ring to the point where they overlap. Alternatively, if you know the diameters of the rings, you can divide them by 2 to get the radii.
Yes, this formula can be used for any type of overlapping rings, as long as they are circular in shape and the area of overlap is a perfect circle.
This formula provides an accurate calculation of the area of overlapping rings. However, it may not be precise if the rings are not perfectly circular or if the area of overlap is not a perfect circle.
Yes, there are other methods for calculating the area of overlapping rings, such as using the Pythagorean theorem or breaking the overlapping area into smaller, simpler shapes. However, the formula A = π * (r12 - r22) is the most commonly used and accurate method for calculating the area of overlapping rings.
