Answer: 8.6 Ft^2
Explanation:
First find the area of the WHOLE square in FEET
2.5 x 4.5 = 11.25 ft
Then we need to find the area of the circle
r = radius
The formula is A = 3.14r^2
The radius is .9166, we can tell because the total distance from top to bottom is 22in meaning 1.83333 ft, meaning the diameter is 1.8333, then to get the radius we cut that in half.
A = 3.14(.9166^2
A = 2.64 Ft
Now we need to find the new total area
11.25 - 2.64 = 8.61 in ^2
Now we need to convert it to the nearest tenth of a square foot
8.6 Ft^2
I hope this helped !
