Question

Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

Answer:

21.46 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

because the question want only for the SHADED REGION but NOT AREA OF THE SQUARE

(if we just multiply 10x10. you will get the area of a square which is hundered)

To find the shaded region:

1. area of a circle is πr² (we have 4 circle there)

2. Find the area of all circle

# how do we know the radius?

- half of 10 is 5

- 5 is the diameter of each circle

- the radius is half of 5 which is 2.5

- π(2.5)² = 25/4π (area of 1 circle)

3. since we have 4 circle then, 25/4π x 4 = 25π

4. the area of the square is 100cm²

5. we want the shaded region so we have to minus the area of the circle

6. 100 - 25π (use your calculator to find the answer)

answer should be 21.46 cm²
