Problem
What is the area of the region in the coordinate plane defined by
?
Solution 1
First consider,
We can see that it is a square with a radius of
(diagonal
). The area of the square is
Next, we insert an absolute value sign into the equation and get This will double the square reflecting over x-axis.
So now we have squares.
Finally, we add one more absolute value and obtain This will double the squares as we reflect the
squares we already have over the y-axis.
Concluding, we have congruent squares. The total area is

Solution 2 (Graphing)
We first consider the lattice points that satisfy and
. The lattice points satisfying these equations
are
and
By symmetry, we also have points
and
when
and
. Graphing and connecting these points, we form 5 squares. However,
we can see that any point within the square in the middle does not satisfy the given inequality (take
, for instance). As
noted in the above solution, each square has a diagonal
for an area of
, so the total area is

Note
This problem is very similar to a past AIME problem (1997 P13)

Solution 3 (Logic)
The value of and
can be a maximum of 1 when the other is 0. Therefore the value of
and
range from -2 to 2. This forms a diamond shape which has area
which is

Solution 4
We start by considering the graph of . To get from this graph to
we have to translate it by
on the
axis and
on the
axis.
Graphing we get a square with side length of
, so the area of one of these squares is just
.
We have to multiply by since there are
combinations of shifting the
and
axis.
So we have which is
.

Solution 5 (Desperate)
There are sets of
absolute value bars. Each of those
absolute value bars can take on
values, so we have
cases. We guess that the answer is divisible by
. The only answer choice that is divisible by
is
.
