Question

A circular hedge surrounds a sculpture on a square base. The radius of the hedge is 6x. The side length of the square sculpture base is 4x. What is that area of the hedge? Write your answer in factored form.

Answer 1

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Since the hedge is surrounding the square base, the area of the base can be determined by subtracting the area of the base from the hedge.

A = pi*r^2 - (4x)^2
A = pi*(6x)^2 - (4x)^2
A = 2x^2*(3pi - 2)

I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a good day.
