There is no need for square roots centered at vertices; ordinary squaring will suffice. And it's less then one day's homework; without Mathematica a maximum of 15 minutes I think, with Mathematica a lot less.
The standard way to deal with a lens is to use a Moebius transform to send one vertex to 0 and the other to infinity. In this case the map =09
f[z_]:=(z+1)/(z-1)
will do it. We get the angle"
g = InverseFunction[f];
RegionPlot[
Abs[g[x + I y] - I] < Sqrt[2] &&
Abs[g[x + I y ] + I] < Sqrt[2], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2},
Frame -> False, Axes -> True]
Next, we rotate it to the right by -3Pi I/4 and use squaring (not square root). We will get the upper half plane. We can now map the upper-half plane to the unit disk by a Moebius transformation - fro example
kk[z_]:=(z-I)/(z+I)
The final map is:
gg[z_]=Simplify[kk[(f[z]Exp[-3Pi/4 I])^2]]
(2 z)/(z^2+1)
We can check this graphically:
RegionPlot[Abs[gg[x + I y]] < 1, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}]
We see the lens plus some additional region. Both the lens and the additional region are mapped onto the unit disk. In order to construct the inverse map from the unit disk to the lens we need, of course, a square root.
