Step-by-step explanation:
first of all, all answer options are basically wrong, because an area is always measured in units² (and not just in units).
the blue colored area is the area of the whole square minus the area of the circle.
the side length of the square is 2 times the radius of the circle (the diameter) : 2×12 = 24 units.
so, the area of the square is
24² = 576 units²
the are of the circle is
pi×r² = pi×12² = 144pi units²
so, the blue area is
576 - 144pi = 123.6106579... ≈ 124 units²
therefore, D is the right answer.
