Which is closest to the area of the shaded region in the figure, in square units?

The closest to the area of the shaded region in the figure is 62 square units which is option B.
Area of a shape is the extent to which the surface has been covered by shape. Area of rectangle is length * breadth. Area of circle is π[tex]r^{2}[/tex] where r is radius of circle.
We have been given that the radius of circle is 6 units. If we carefully observes the radius and length of the rectangle in which circle exists then we can find length by adding radius 4 times=4*6=24 units.
Like this if we see breadth then it will be equal to 2*radius=2*6=12
Area of rectangle=12*24
=288 square units.
Area of 1 circle=π[tex]6^{2}[/tex]
=3.14*36
=113.04
Area of 2 circles=2*113.04
=226.08 square units.
Area of shaded region= area of rectangle-area of 2 circles
=288-226.08
=61.92 square units
Hence the area of shaded region among options is 62 which is option B.
