Question

Find the area of the shaded region. Leave your answer in terms of pi and in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

0.858 ft^2

Explanation:

The area of shaded region = Area of the square - Area of Circle

here

length = diameter=2ft

so, radius= diameter/2=2/2=1ft

Now

Area of square= length*length=2*2=4 ft^2

Area of circle=πr^2=π*1^2=π ft^2

again

The area of shaded region = Area of the square - Area of Circle

The area of the shaded region = 4ft^2-πft^2=0.858 ft^2
