Answer:

approximately 157 square units

Explanation:

To find areas of all shaded regions, find the area of each of the three triangles

Area of circle with diameter of 6, radius of 3 is:

A = π3² = 9π

Area of circle with diameter of 8, radius of 4 is:

A = π4² = 16π

Area of circle with diameter of 10*, radius of 5 is:

A = π5² = 25π

*Found this value by using the Pythagorean Theorem for the right triangle

Total Area = 50π which is approximately 157 square units
