Answer:
62
Step-by-step explanation:
The enclosing rectangle is 24 units long and 12 units high. Its area is ...
(24 units)(12 units) = 288 square units
The white circles obviously cover more than half the area, so the only viable answer choice is 62.

If you want to go to the trouble to actually figure it out, you can find the area of each circle using the area formula ...
A = πr² = (3.14)(6²) = 113.04
Then both circles have an area of 2×113.04 = 226.08, and the shaded area is the difference between that and the rectangle area:
shaded area = 288 -226.08 = 61.92 ≈ 62
Your question does not say what were your options, therefore I will answer generically: in order to understand if a point (ordered pair) is contained in a line, you need to substitute the x-component of the pair in the equation of the line and see if the calculations give you the y-component of the pair.
Example:
Your line is <span> y = 4/3x + 1/3
Let's see if <span>(0, 0) and (2, 3) </span>belong to this line
y</span> = <span>4/3·0 + 1/3 = 1/3 </span>≠ 0
Therefore, the line does not contain (0, 0)
y = 4/3·2 + 1/3 = 9/3 = 3
Therefore, the line contains (2, 3)
Divide both sides by 5. You get 1/2 or 0.5
The answer is C
