From the given information, we get:
The diameter of the smallest semicircle is 4, which means its radius = 2
The diameter of the middle semicircle is 8, which means its radius = 4
The diameter of the largest semicircle is 16, which means its radius = 8
Area of semicircle \(= \frac{\pi r^2}{2}\)
So, the area of the smallest semicircle \(= \frac{\pi (2^2)}{2} = 2 \pi\)
The area of the middle semicircle \(= \frac{\pi (4^2)}{2} = 8 \pi\)
The area of the largest smallest semicircle \(= \frac{\pi (8^2)}{2} = 32 \pi\)
So, the TOTAL shaded area \(= 2 \pi + 8 \pi + 32 \pi = 42 \pi \)
Answer: B
