Based on the diagram shown above, the area of the shaded region rounded to the nearest hundredth is 1.34 square meter.
In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, the area of a square can be calculated by using this formula;
A =
Where:
- A is the area of a square.
- s is the side length of a square.
By substituting the given side lengths into the formula, we have;
Area of square, A = 2.5 × 2.5
Area of square, A = 6.25 square meters.
In Mathematics and Geometry, the area of a circle can be calculated by using this formula:
Area of circle = π
Where:
r represents the radius of a circle.
By substituting, we have;
Radius of circle = diameter/2 = 2.5/2
Radius of circle = 1.25 m.
Area of circle = π ×
Area of circle ≈ 4.91 square meters.
Area of the shaded region = Area of square - Area of circle
Area of the shaded region = 6.25 - 4.91
Area of the shaded region = 1.34 square meter.
