Answer:

17.5

Explanation:

The triangle is an equilateral triangle since all sides are equal

Area of a equilateral triangle is:


ar(triangle) = (a^2√(3) x)/(4)


=(5^2√(3) )/(4) \\\\=(25√(3) )/(4) \\

the sde of the square = diameterof the circle(d)

d = 6

r = d/2 = 3

ar(circle) = πr²

= π * 3²

= 9π

= 9*22/7

= 198/7

ar(shaded region) = ar(circle)-ar(triangle)


= (198)/(7) - (25√(3) )/(4)

= 17.5
