A court is 94ft long by 50ft wide.It contains 3 circles, each with a diameter of 12 ft. Two of the circles are located at the free throw line with "half of each circle shaded" and the third circle is at the center. Within the third shaded circle is another circle (not shaded) with a radius of 2 ft. One gallon of paint will cover 110 sq ft. How many gallons of paint will be needed to paint the shaded regions on the court? Use pi as 3.14. Explain.

Subtract from that area the area of the small circle of radius 2.

Now divide the result by 110
