Question

A circle fits in a square with sides of 12 inches. What is the approximate area of the shaded region between the square and the circle? (Use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

The answer would be A! :)

Answer 2

31 in²

Explanation:

Take the area of the square, and subtract the area of the circle..

The area of the square is A = 12(12) = 144 in²

The radius of the circle is 6 in, so

The area of the circle is A = π(6²) = 36π

The area between the square and the circle is

144 - 36π

144 - 36(3.14)

30.90266447

31 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
