Question

HELP PLS 75 PTS QUICK IS THE ANSWER B OR D?

Answer 1

The area of the shaded region is D)
`64-16\pi`.

Explanation:

First, draw the centers of the circles. Then, connect each center with the two centers of the circles that are tangent to it. The resultant figure will be a square with side length 8 (2*r = 8). The area of the shaded region is then the area of this square, minus four quarter-circles with radius 4. Then answer is then
`8^2 - 4(4^2\pi/4) = 64 - 16\pi`.
