Four circles of diameter d cm are arranged in such a way that they touch each other. A square is formed by joining the centers of the four circles. What is the area of the shaded part?

A) d² (1-π)
B) d² (4-π)
​C) d²/4 - πd²/4 ​
​D) d² - πd²/4 


 

Dear student,

Diameter of circle =dArea of 4 sector=4×90360×πd22=4×π4×d24=πd24Side of square=radius of circle I+radius of circle II=d2+d2=dArea of square=side2=d2Area of shaded region=Area of square-Area of 4 sector=d2-πd24
