Solution
Drop the altitude from O to AB at X.
Looking at the side lengths, we see that △OBX is a 30−60−90 triangle.
This means that the area of sector AOB is 61⋅π⋅(33)2=18π.
We also have that the area of △AOB is 21⋅2⋅63⋅21=123.
The area of the sector outside the square and inside the circle is then 18π−123.
There are 4 of these regions, which gives us a total area of 4(18π−123)=92π−33.
Thus, B is the correct answer.
