AHSME 1970 Problem 7

    Inside square ABCDABCD with side ss, quarter-circle arcs with radii ss and centers at AA and BB are drawn. These arcs intersect at a point XX inside the square. How far is XX from the side of CDCD? (A) 12s(3+4)(B) 12s3(C) 12s(1+3)(D) 12s(3−1)(E) 12s(2−3)\text{(A) } \tfrac{1}{2} s(\sqrt{3}+4) \text{(B) } \tfrac{1}{2} s\sqrt{3} \text{(C) } \tfrac{1}{2} s(1+\sqrt{3}) \text{(D) } \tfrac{1}{2} s(\sqrt{3}-1) \text{(E) } \tfrac{1}{2} s(2-\sqrt{3})
