Answer:

B. 7.73 square units

Explanation:

The area of the shaded region = area of the square - area of the inscribed circle

Radius of the circle (r) = 3 units

Side length of the square (s) = diameter of 2*radius of the inscribed circle = 6 units

Area of square = s² = 6² = 36 square units

Area of inscribed circle = πr² = π3² = 28.27 square units

Area of shaded region = 36 - 28.27 = 7.73 square units
