When we calculate the sum of the areas of sectors OPQ and O'RS, the area B is double-counted. Since A and B have equal areas, the sum of the areas of sectors OPQ and O'RS is the same as the area of the rectangle OPSO'. Note that both sectors have the same area.

The rectangle OPSO' has sides of length x and 6, so its area is 6x. As this area is twice the area of sector OPQ, which has a central angle of 90° and a radius of 6, we have
6x = 2*(Ï€*6^2*(1/4)) and 6x = 18Ï€.
Thus, x = 3Ï€.

Therefore, the answer is C.
Answer: C
