Since RSTV is a circle the relationship between r and itrs sides would be 2^1/2 to 1
Area of squre=( 2^1/2*r)^2=2r^2
Area of circle=P*r^2
Area of shaded region=P*r^2 - 2r^2=r^2*(P-2)

Diagonal of the square = $$2r$$ , so area of the square = $$4r^2/2$$ ir, $$2r^2$$

Area of the circle = $$πr^2$$

So, Area of the shaded region = $$πr^2 - 2r^2$$

Or, Area of the shaded region = $$r^2 ( π- 2 )$$ , answer will be (A)

The total area of the shaded regions equals
(Area of Circle) - (Area of Square)

Area of circle= $$πr^2$$

Area of square
The square's diagonal = 2r

The relationship between a square's diagonal, d, and its side, s, is
$$s^2 = d$$, so
$$s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}$$
$$s = \frac{2r}{\sqrt{2}}$$

Area of square =
$$s^2 =\frac{2r}{\sqrt{2}}* \frac{2r}{\sqrt{2}} =\frac{(4)r^2}{2}= 2r^2$$

(Circle area) - (square area)
$$(πr^2 - 2r^2) =$$
$$r^2(π - 2)$$
