Question

3. In the figure shown, a circle with center O and radius of length 3 units is

inscribed in a square. What is the area of the shaded region? *

A. 3.86 square units
B. 7.73 square units
C. 28.27 square units
D. 32.86 square units

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

To find the area of a circle, take its radius (3) and square it. In this case, 3 times 3 = 9. Then, you multiply the answer by pi, which rounds to 3.14, but is more like 3.14159265......etc, etc. There is a rhyme for that: May I have a large container of coffee beans? Where the length of each word is a number of pi. Anyway, most people would write 9pi, but this is asking for the exact answer, so you can do 3.14 times 9, which equals roughly 28.27. Hope this helped!
