    Find the amount a circle covers a rectangle

    Hi – I’ve got a problem I need to figure out. Given a circle of known centre and Radius. How can you find what percentage of a rectangle is covered by the circle. The rectangle dimensions and location is also known. If it makes it easier the rectangle can be square.

    In the picture A is 0% covered, B is 100% and C is about 25%. Is there any equation to work this out.

    Thanks

    Robert
