Question

Please help! Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

≈ 7.73

Explanation:

Area of a circle = π
`r^(2)`

Area of a rectangle = width x height

Circle:

π
`3^(2)` = π 9 ≈ 28.27 area of each circle

1/2 28.27 + 1/2 28.27 = 28.27 = area of the white region

Square:

6 x 6 = 36 = area of the square (green and white combined)

36 - 28.27 ≈ 7.73 (the whole square, minus the white area)
