Answer:
494.4 inches²
Explanation:
we can see that there are four quarter circles inscribed in the square. 4 quarters make up a whole so all we need to find is the area of the square minus the area of the large circle. area of a circle is πr²
area of the circle: (24)²×π=1809.557
area of the square: (24×2)²=2304
shaded area: 2304-1809.557=494.443 which rounds down to 494.4
