The link doesnt work for me sorry. I'm assuming the sides of the circles touch the sides of the rectangle?

darkbeautystar · Answer

Yes they do @KamiBug

kamibug · Answer

Here is what we can do

1. Find the area of the rectangle as a whole by multiplying 10^2 * 3 because it's divided into three squares that are 10x10

2. Find the area of one circle using the radius (the radius is 5 bc the diameter is 10)
    The formula for the area of a circle is pi*r^2

2. Multiply the area by 3 because there are three lights

3. Subtract the total area of the circles from the area of the rectangle to get your answer for the black part. 

Tbh I'm not 100% sure but I hope it works. :)
