I have denoted , by " A " , the point which subtends an angle of " π3 " at the center of the circle ( " O " ) , and by " F " , the point which which subtends an angle of " π2 " .

Clearly , the loci of the points are 2 circles , each of radius " AO " and " FO " respectively .

Since , Angle ( AOE ) = 30 ° , hence , " AO = OE sec ( 30 ° ) = 2 "

Simalarly , " FO = √ 2 " .

Hence , the required area of the region is the region ( see picture ) contained in between these circles , which is : -

Area = Ï€ ( 2 2 ) - Ï€ ( √ 2 ) 2 = 2 Ï€
