An evil wizard has captured a unicorn, and is threatening to kill it unless you can answer the following question:

“I wish to create a rainbow-shaped mosaic for the floor of the throne room in my castle. 

The mosaic is to be formed from four semicircles as shown below.

The innermost semicircle is to have a radius of R metres, and each of the outer semicircles must have a radius that is a constant  k metres greater than the radius of the next semicircle further in.

The rainbow mosaic must be exactly 22 metres across.

screenshot-2023-07-20-at-4-26-15-pm

Moreover, I wish the inner part of the area (labelled  in the diagram) to take up exactly one quarter of the total area of the rainbow.
Find me the required values of R and k, or the unicorn dies.  Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

Solve the wizard’s problem and save the unicorn.
