The area of the square is 100 square units because 10×10=100

The radius of a circle is half the length of the square. The radius is 5.

The 2 semi-circles added together actually equals a circle.

The area of a circle is π
r^(2).

5=r.

So
5^(2) equals 25.

The circle is 25π

So just subtract.

The area of the square with two semi-circles in it is (100 - 25π)
