A circle is drawn within a square as shown. What is the best approximation for the area of the shaded region? Use 3.14 to approx
imate pi.
1 answer:
In the shown picture, To find the shaded area we need to find the total area of the square, subtracted by the area of the circle.
the area of the shaded region = the area of the square - the area of the circle
the area of the square = L² = 7² = 49 cm²
the area of the circle = πr² = 3.14 x 3.5² = 38.5 cm²
the area of the shaded region = 49 - 38.5 = 10.5 cm²
the area of the shaded region = the area of the square - the area of the circle
the area of the square = L² = 7² = 49 cm²
the area of the circle = πr² = 3.14 x 3.5² = 38.5 cm²
the area of the shaded region = 49 - 38.5 = 10.5 cm²
