Question

3 m

What will be the approximate area, in square meters of the region outside the circle? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (n-3.14)
square meters

Answer 1

Area of the region outside the circle = 4.9 m²

Explanation:

Area of the area outside the circle = Area of the rectangle - Area of the circle

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

= 3 × 2

= 6 m²

Area of the circle =
`\pi r^(2)`

Here, r = Radius of the circle

Radius of the circle =
`\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2}`

=
`(1.2)/(2)`

= 0.6 m

Area of the circle = π(0.6)²

= 0.36π

= 1.1304 m²

Area of the region outside the circle = 6 - 1.1304

= 4.8696

≈ 4.9 m²
