Problem 87: (2004 AMC 10a, 21)
Two distinct lines pass through the center of three concentric circles of radii 3, 2, and 1. The area of the shaded region in the diagram is $\frac{8}{13}$ of the area of the unshaded region. What is the radian measure of the acute angle formed by the two lines? (Note: $\pi$ radians is $180$ degrees.) $\mathrm{(A) \ } \frac{\pi}{8} \qquad$ $ \mathrm{(B) \ } \frac{\pi}{7} \qquad$ $ \mathrm{(C) \ } \frac{\pi}{6} \qquad$ $ \mathrm{(D) \ } \frac{\pi}{5} \qquad$ $ \mathrm{(E) \ } \frac{\pi}{4}$
Solution
Exercise 87: Solution
Two distinct lines pass through the center of three concentric circles of radii $3,2,1$. The area of the shaded region in the diagram is $\frac35$ of the area of the unshaded region. What is the radian measure of the acute angle formed by the two lines?
