Answer: A) 16.86 square inches
Explanation:
Area of Shaded Area will be the Area of the Rectangle (Total Area) minus the Area of the Circle.
Finding Area of Circle :-
Radius (r) = 1 in
Area = πr^2
Therefore,
= πr^2
= π * r * r
= 3.14 * 1 * 1
=> 3.14
Area = 3.14 in^2
Finding Area of Rectangle (Total Area) :-
Length (l) = 5 in
Breadth (b) = 4 in
Area = l * b
Therefore,
= l * b
= 5 * 4
=> 20
Area = 20 in^2
Finding Area of Shaded Region :-
Area of Rectangle - Area of Circle
Therefore,
= 20 - 3.14
= 16.86
Area = 16.86 in^2
