Question

A circle fits in a square with sides of 12 inches. What is the approximate area of the shaded region between the

square and the circle? (Use 3.14 for and round to the nearest whole number.)
12 inches
12 inches
31 in 2
O 69in ?
106in.
O 125 in?

Answer 1

I think the answer is 31

Explanation:

Answer 2

31 Sq inches

Explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of square - Area of circle with radius 6 inches

`= {12}^(2) - \pi {(6)}^(2) \\ \\ = 144 - 3.14 * 36 \\ \\ = 144 - 113.04 \\ \\ = 30.96 \\ \\ \approx \: 31 \: {in}^(2)`
