Answer:

21.4601836603 inches

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 21.5 inches

Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 21.46

Explanation:

To find the area of a circle, you use the equation πr².

The radius would be half of the square side. which would be 5.

π(5)² = π(25)

78.5398163397 inches

The area of the square would be b*h, in this case, they're both the same, 10.

10*10=100 inches

To find the area of the shaded part of the figure, you would subtract the area of the square by the area of the circle.

100 - 78.5398163397=

21.4601836603 inches

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 21.5

Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 21.46
