Given two bases of the isosceles trapezoid ABCD as a and b, the task is to find the area of circle inscribed in this trapezoid
 

Examples: 
 

Input: a = 10, b = 30 
Output: Area = 235.57

Input: a = 20, b = 36 
Output: Area = 565.38

Derivation: Given a circle inscribed in trapezium ABCD (sides AB = n and CD = m), we need to find out the height of the trapezium i.e., (AL), which is half of the radius of the circle to find the area of the circle.

For finding the height of circle we do following operation. 

  1. The circle will always touch the sides of trapezium at their midpoints, Say the midpoints of AB, BD, CD, AC are G, F, H, E, and join them with the center of the circle.
  2. Now from Symmetry, we can see that 
     
AG = AE = n/2, 
EC = CG = m/2, 
HD = DF = n/2,
GB = FB = m/2
  1. Now in Triangle ACL apply the Pythagoras theorem
     
Hypotenuse AC = m/2 + n/2
Base CL = CH - AG = m/2 - n/2

we get 
Perpendicular AL = Square_root(m * n)
  1. Therefore the height of the Trapezium = AL = Square_Root(Product of given sides)
  2. Now the radius of the circle is simple half of the height and hence the area can be calculated easily.

Approach:  

  1. Find the height of the trapezoid as (square_root( m * n )).
  2. Find the radius of the incircle 
     
R = height / 2 
  = square_root(m * n) / 2
  1. Now find the area of the circle
     
= Pi * R2 
= ( 3.141 * m * n ) / 4

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// CPP implementation to find
// the area of the circle
// inscribed in a trapezoid
// having non- parallel sides m, n
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find area of circle
// inscribed in a trapezoid
// having non- parallel sides m, n
double area_of_circle(int m, int n)
{
    // radius of circle by the
    // formula i.e. root( m * n) / 2
    // area of circle = (3.141 ) * ( R ** 2 )
 
    int square_of_radius = ( m * n ) / 4;
    double area = ( 3.141 * square_of_radius );
    return area;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main(){
    int n = 10;
    int m = 30;
    cout << (area_of_circle(m, n));
}

        int square_of_radius = ( m * n ) / 4;
        double area = ( 3.141 * square_of_radius );
        return area;
    }
     
    // Driver code
