    CalculateQuadrantRemainingArea = QuadrantRadius ^ 2 / 4.583662361
    End Function
    I'm sorry P45cal but how did you arrive at this figure "4.583662361"?

    Never mind I've found how you arrived at this figure:

    The constant 4.583662361 was arrived at by pre-calculating the value of 5π72​.
    This means the other member's function is a simplified version of our derived formula, specifically tailored for the case where the first half-circle's radius is always half of the quadrant's radius (r1​=R/2).
