The area of one of the smaller circles is 8/ in². Find the area of the shaded region.

A. pi in.²

B. 4 pi in.²

C. 8 pi in.²

D. 16 pi in.²

The answer is D btw i just submitted my quiz

Area of shaded region = 16π in² (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram if the circles. Find attached the diagram used in solving the question.

Area of the smaller circle = 8π in²

Area of a circle = πr²

πr² = 8π

r² =8

r = √8 = 2√2

From the diagram, there are two smaller circles in a bigger circle.

The radius of the bigger circle (R) is 2times the radius of the smaller circle (r)

R = 2r

Area of bigger circle = πR²

= π×(2r)² =   π×(2×2√2)²

= π×(4√2)² = π×16×(√2)²

Area of bigger circle = π×16×2

Area of bigger circle = 32π in²

Since there are two smaller circles in a bigger circle

Area of shaded region = Area of bigger circle -2(area of smaller circles)

Area of shaded region = 32π in² - 2(8π in²)

Area of shaded region = 32π in² - 16π in²

Area of shaded region = 16π in²
