Answer:
No, the circles do not overlap
Explanation:
r = Radius of circle
A = Area = 3.14 square feet
Area of one circle
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 3.14=3.14r^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow r=1\ \text{ft}[/tex]
The radius of the each of the circles is 1 ft.
If the circles centers are 4 ft apart then the distance between the curves of the circle will be 2 ft apart.
So, the circles do not overlap each other. This is shown in the diagram.
