In the diagram, point D is the center of the medium-sized circle that passes through C and E, and it is also the center of the largest circle that passes through A and G. Each of the diameters of the small circles with centers B and F equals the radius of the medium-sized circle with center D. The shaded area is what fraction of the largest circle?Single choice. ​

Answer:

  5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.

Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.

The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
