Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

The way to solve the shaded region is to find the area of the square first and subtract the area of the circle from it.

Area of the square

Area = s^2

s = 12

Area of the square = 12 * 12

Area of the square = 144 yd^2

Area of the circle = pi * r^2

r = d/2

d is actually the same as the side length of the square

r = 12/2

r = 6

pi = 3.14

Area of the circle = pi * 6^2

Area of the circle = 3.14 * 36

Area of the circle = 113.04

Area of the shaded region

Area of shaded region = area of the square - area of circle

Area of shaded region = 144 - 113.04

Answer: Area of the shaded region 30.96
