Problem 19

The area of the region bounded by the graph of $x^2+y^2 = 3|x-y| + 3|x+y|$ is $m+n\pi$ , where $m$ and $n$ are integers. What is $m + n$ ?

$\textbf{(A)} ~18\qquad\textbf{(B)} ~27\qquad\textbf{(C)} ~36\qquad\textbf{(D)} ~45\qquad\textbf{(E)} ~54$

Solution 1

This is what the diagram looks like: $[asy] size(10cm); Label f; f.p=fontsize(7); xaxis(-8,8,Ticks(f, 1.0)); yaxis(-8,8,Ticks(f, 1.0)); draw(arc((-3,0),3,90,270) -- cycle, gray); draw(arc((0,3),3,0,180) -- cycle, gray); draw(arc((3,0),3,-90,90) -- cycle, gray); draw(arc((0,-3),3,-180,0) -- cycle, gray); draw((-3,3)--(3,3)--(3,-3)--(-3,-3)--cycle, grey); [/asy]$ Now, the area of the shaded region is just a square with side length $6$ with four semicircles of radius $3$ . The area is $6\cdot6+4\cdot \frac{9\pi}{2} = 36+18\pi$ . The answer is $36+18$ which is $\boxed{\textbf{(E) }54}$ ~ Bryguy
