Petit, 4-in-a-circle is the same as the area of a square with diameter=4. Area = π*(.5*4)^2 = 4π. 6-in-a-circle is, by the same logic, is π*(.5*6)^2 = 9π.

Multiply the first and the second, and you get 36π^2.

Answer D is π*12-in-a-circle = π* 12-in-a-circle = π*π*(1/2*12)^2 = 36π^2

PI is 3.14, not exactly 3!

I get everything up until 36π^2 but where does the 12 come from

Hi Joelene,

The 12 inside the circle is what is presented in answer-choice D.
