Answer:

shaded/square = (50π cm²)/(400 cm²) = π/8

Explanation:

The quarter circle has area ...

A = (1/4)(πr²) = π/4(20 cm)² = 100π cm²

The half-circle has area ...

A = (1/2)(πr²) = π/2(10 cm)² = 50π cm²

Then the area of the shaded portion is ...

shaded = 100π cm² -50π cm² = 50π cm²

__

The area of the square is ...

A = s² = (20 cm)² = 400 cm²

Then the ratio of interest is ...

shaded/square = (50π cm²)/(400 cm²) = π/8
