Question

The diagram shows a circle inscribed in a square.

12 m
12 m
What is the area of the shaded part of the diagram? (Use 3.14 as an estimate for 1.)

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

first lets find the area of the square

A=l*w

12*12=144 m^2

then lets find the are of the circle

A=pi*r^2

A=3.14*(d/2)^2

the diameter of the circle is 12m

A=3.14*(12/2)^2

A=3.14*(6)^2

A=3.14*36

A=113.04 m^2

Now, lets subtract the area of the circle form the area of the square

144-113.04= 30.96 m^2

So, the answer is A
