| − | == Solution ==
| |
| − | First consider, <math>|x-1|+|y-1| \le 1.</math>
| |
| − | We can see that it's a square with radius 1 (diagonal 2). The area of the square is <math>\sqrt{2}^2 = 2.</math>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Next, we add one more absolute value and get <math>|x-1|+||y|-1| \le 1.</math> This will double the square reflecting over x-axis.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So now we got 2 squares.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Finally, we add one more absolute value and get <math>||x|-1|+||y|-1| \le 1.</math> This will double the squares reflecting over y-axis.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the end, we got 4 squares. The total area is <math>4\cdot2 = </math> <math>\boxed{\text{(B)} 8}</math>
