Answer:

0.22 square units

Explanation:

Area of the left over fabric = Area of the square piece - Area of the circle

let the side length of the square piece be 1 unit

Area of the square piece = 1 * 1

Area of the square piece = 1 square units

Area of the circle = πd²/4

d is the diameter of the circle = 1 unit (equivalent to the side length of the square)

Area of the circle = π(1)²/4

Area of the circle = 3.14/4

Area of the circle = 0.785square units

Area of the left over fabric = 1- 0785

Area of the left over fabric = 0.215 square units

Hence the amount of fabric that would be leftover is 0.22 square units
