p7. Let be a diameter of a circle with center and radius . Point is on the circle such that . Point is on the circle such that line segment intersects line segment at and bisects . Compute the area of , which is enclosed by line segments and and minor arc .
p8. William is a bacteria farmer. He would like to give his fiance bacteria as a wedding gift. Since he is an intelligent and frugal bacteria farmer, he would like to add the least amount of bacteria on his favorite infinite plane petri dish to produce those bacteria.
The infinite plane petri dish starts off empty and William can add as many bacteria as he wants each day. Each night, all the bacteria reproduce through binary fission, splitting into two. If he has infinite amount of time before his wedding day, how many bacteria should he add to the dish in total to use the least number of bacteria to accomplish his nuptial goals?
