Q: How to draw and calculate area and perimeter of shaded?

zeros As I can draw the figure in rectangular coordinates, calculate area and perimeter according to radius "r" of the circle and find the points of intersection of the inner circles. Thanks in advance

This question is not uninteresting but shows absolutely no effort at all.

@Alucard don't use Style Italic for definitions but Style[..., "MyDefinition"] then go to Format -> Edit Stylesheet and add MyDefinition style and options for FontColor and FontSlant.
@halirutan that is where I find downvoting of a question applicable.

@halirutan Well, the user had great success with another zero-effort question, mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/136974/9490
 
@JasonB Yes. I saw it.
 
As much as I don't like the "do this for me" questions, and don't think they match the QA format for this site, they do lead to some great results sometimes so I don't know what to say
There's another user who regularly posts cool gifs asking how to make them
 
@JasonB Me neither. The style of these questions is against all rules and still I do love the visual nature of the problems.
 
one time I think I shamed him to remove a post, saying right after he posted it "You aren't new to the site, you should be able to at least post an attempt" - then I felt mean
 
@JasonB It's exactly this kind of people I would never ever hire. If he intended to give this as some kind of challenge, he could have said so and gave some more interesting background information.

@halirutan There could be a CodeGolf for visual arts - accepting answers from MMA, processing, other javascript, etc - that would be fun
 
@JasonB Yes, this is something different.
The main problem with such nice problems is that you/I/one really has to resist the urge to work it out and post a nice solution. Unfortunately, others do (and I'm not mad at them) and so the situation for the OP will never change. He gets answers and doesn't need to come up with one single thought by himself.
And this says it all:
I know that I should use plot, and that $x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = r ^ 2 $ and also that $ (x-h) ^ 2 + (y-h) ^ 2 = r ^ 2 $ — zeros 13 hours ago
