Let the length of the quarter circle's radius = 1 unit 

Now draw the circle with diameter AB, and label another point on this circle D such that point D is not inside the original quarter circle CAB.

Find the area of circle ABD outside of quarter circle CAB.  Place answer inside hide tags and justify your result.

What's in it for me?
