Question

Calculate the area shaded

Answer 1

7.722 cm^2

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of the square.

• Area of square = s^2, where s = side
• 6^2 = 36 cm^2

Step 2: Find the area of the circle.

• We are given the diameter of the circle as 6 cm, so the radius must be 3 cm.
• Area of circle is
  `\pi r^2`, so now we plug in and simplify.
• 
  `3.142 * 3^2`
• 
  `3.142 * 9`
• 
  `28.278`

Step 3: Subtract area of circle from area of square.

• 
  `36 - 28.278`
• 
  `7.722`

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 7.722 cm^2.
