<p>I can't seem to figure this one out
I drew a radius from the center to the points connecting the two arcs and got 64 for the area of the square but how do I find the rest? Diagrams would be nice.

<p>Answer is choice E.
Thanks guys!</p>
<p>he gave u that each circle is 270° so we have 90° missing from each circle. therefore we can form a square by the raduis which is 8. we will get the area of this part (square) 8x8=64
but still we have the area if the remaining figure :
270° is 3/4 of the whole circle (270/360)
so it is also 3/4 of the overall area
Πr^2= Π (8^2)*1.5= 96Π</p>
<p>we multiplied the area by 1.5 cuz we have two circles (3/4+3/4).
so the total area of the figure is 96Π+64 (E)</p>
<p>Oh, I see! Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Anytime :D</p>
