The following is a circle enclosed in a parallelogram:

The circumference is 25.13.
What is the area of the zones marked in blue?
First, we add letters as reference points:
Let's observe points A and B.
We know that two tangent lines to a circle that start from the same point are parallel to each other.
Therefore:
From here we can calculate:
Now we need the height of the parallelogram.
We know that F is tangent to the circle, so the diameter that comes out of point F will also be the height of the parallelogram.
It is also known that the diameter is equal to two radii.
It is known that the circumference of the circle is 25.13.
Formula of the circumference:
We replace and solve:
The height of the parallelogram is equal to two radii, that is, 8.
And from here it is possible to calculate the area of the parallelogram:
Now, we calculate the area of the circle according to the formula:
Now, subtract the area of the circle from the surface of the trapezoid to get the answer:
