In the above diagram, let be the length of , of , and of . From the formula for the area of a circle, the area of a semi-circle can be found from its diameter as .
So the area of the purple semi-circle is . The second largest semi-circle has area , so the cyan region has area:
Since the purple and cyan regions have the same area, so .
The diameter of the full semi-circle is . So the area of the yellow region is:
This has the same area as the cyan region, so which means that .
The diameter of the full semi-circle is therefore so its area is .
The unshaded regions have diameters and so have areas .
