What is the area of the shaded portion if the perimeter of the square is 32? (The four circles are tangent to each other and the square, and are congruent.)

(A) 64 – 64π
(B) 32 – 16π
(C) 64 – 16π
(D) 64 – 8π
(E) 32 – 4π

Perimeter of square = 4s = 32
s = 8.

Side of the square = 2 times diagonal of a single circle
So diagonal of a circle = 4. So, radius = 2

Area of the shaded portion = area of the square - area of the four circles.
64-4*pi*4
64-16*pi C
