The area of the square is W^2

The area of the circle will be PI * radius^2
where the radius = (W/2)
So, the circle area = PI * (W/2)^2 = PI * (W^2 /4)

If square has a 12 inch side its area is 144 square inches.
The circle would be PI * (144 / 4) = PI * 36 =

So, A = (W^2) - (PI * (W^2 / 4)

Answer:  

2 hours:  3968  <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>

At midnight:  12137

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour.  So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.  

The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15.  Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b.  b is (1 +  percent increase).

Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450

At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:

(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.

Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor,  If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:

P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour.  t is time, in hours.  

If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is

P = ab^t

Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM.  That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10

P = (3000)*(1.15)^10

P = 12137
