Answer:

=13.73 ft²

Explanation:

The diameter of the largest possible circle that can be cut out of a square is equal to the length of the side of the square.

Therefore the diameter of the circle cut from a square of side 8ft =8ft

r=4ft

Area of the remaining board= Area of square- area of circle

=side²-πr²

=8²-π×4²

=64-16π

=13.73 ft²
