Area of rectangle = 8
Area one circle => pie 2^2/4 => pie
Area 2 circles = 2 pie

shaded area = 8 - 2pie

option C

Diameter for circle is 2 so radius =1
Area of rectangle = 4×2 =8
Area of one circle = pi × r^2---> pi so area of two circles = 2 pi
Hence area of shaded region= 8-2pi

Area of the shaded region is $$4*2 - 2*π*1^2$$ = $$8 -2\pi$$, Answer will be (C)

(Area of rectangle) - (Area of 2 circles)

Area of rectangle = L*W = 8

Area of one circle
--from width = 2, derive radius
--the circle, inscribed in the rectangle, has a diameter equal to width of rectangle
-- d = w = 2
-- d = 2r, 2 = 2r, r = 1
One circle's area = $$\pi r^2 = 1\pi$$
Total area of circles: $$2\pi$$

Shaded region's area: $$8 - 2\pi$$

The diameter of each circle is 2, so the radius of each circle is 1.

Thus, the combined area of the two circles is 2 x π x 1^2 = 2π.

The area of the rectangle is 4 x 2 = 8.

Therefore, the area of the shaded portion is 8 - 2π.
