Question

Need help very badly.
Find the area of the shaded region.
Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

36 minus 9 multiplied by Pi . Then divide that answer by 2 to get 7.7

Answer 2

The area of the square is 36 squared inches, because it is a square with a side of 6 inches.

The two semicircles have a radius of 3 inches. If we subtract their areas from the area of the square, we have

`36-2\left((\pi\cdot 3^2)/(2)\right) = 36-9\pi`

The shaded region is half of this area, so the answer is

`(36-9\pi)/(2) \approx 7.7`
