Answer:

  • 216/7 in²

Explanation:

We know that:

  • Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circles
  • Radius of circle = 3 in
  • Area of circle = πr²
  • Area of square = s²

Solution:

  • Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circles
  • => Area of shaded region = (12²) - 4(22/7 x 3 x 3)
  • => Area of shaded region = (144) - 4(22/7 x 9)
  • => Area of shaded region = (144) - 4(198/7)
  • => Area of shaded region = 144 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 144 x 7/7 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 1008/7 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 1008/7 - 792/7
  • => Area of shaded region = 216/7 in²
