Problem
The figure shown below is composed of arc of circles with centers at each corner of the square 20 cm by 20 cm. Find the area inside the square but outside the region commonly bounded by the quarter circles. The required area is shaded as shown in the figure below.

Sequence is a succession of numbers formed according to some fixed rule. Example is
which is a sequence so that the nth term is given by n3.
Series is the indicated sum of a sequence of numbers. Thus,
is the series corresponding to the sequence $a_1,~ a_2,~ a_3,~ ... ,~a_n,~ ...$
Finite and Infinite Series
Problem
The sum of the digits of a three-place number is 19. If the tens and units digits are interchanged the number is diminished by 27, and if the hundreds and tens digits are interchanged the number is increased by 180. What is the number?
