Total length of the boundary of the shaded region = 6π

Radius of the smallest circle is 1, middle circle is 2 and largest circle is 3

Total boundary covering the shaded region is π ( 1+ 2+ 3) = 6π

Option D

In the figure above, the centers of all three circles lie on the same line. The radius of the middle-sized circle is twice that of the smallest circle. If the radius of the smallest circle is 1, what is the length of the boundary of the shaded region?

(A) 9

(B) \(3π\)

(C) 12

(D) \(6π\)

(E) \(12π\)

Attachment:

radius of the largest cirlce =3 , middle one =2 , smaller one =1

boundary = half*( circumference of ( biggest circle + middle and small circle ))

=> 1/2( 6+ 4 +2 )* pie
=> 6 pie

Therefore IMO D
