Direct computation:
Parameterize the top part of the circle
by

with
, and the line segment by

with
. Then



Using the fundamental theorem of calculus:
The integral can be written as

If there happens to be a scalar function
such that
, then
is conservative and the integral is path-independent, so we only need to worry about the value of
at the path's endpoints.
This requires


So we have

which means
is indeed conservative. By the fundamental theorem, we have

So first, find the area of the square. 12x12= 144inches^2
Then find the area of the circle. To do this we use pi x r^2. The radius of the circle is 6 inches. Pi x 6^2 = 113.04inches^2.
144 - 113.04 = 30.6, so your answer is 30.6 inches^2
The circles circumference is worked out by using pi x d. The diameter is 12 inches, so 3.14x12 = 37.68 inches.
The squares perimeter is 12 x 4 = 48 inches.
If you round up the circumference of the circle to the nearest integer, you get 38 inches. The ratio would therefore be, 38:48, which can be rounded down to 19:24 :)
It’s 6 3/25 as a fraction
