Answer:

3π sq.feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square = L²

L is the length of the square

Given

Area of the square = 12 ft square

12 = L²

L = √12

L = 2√3 feet

Since the circle is inscribed in the square, the length of the square will be the diameter of the circle;

Area of the circle = πd²/4

Area of the circle = π(2√3)²/4

Area of the circle = 12π/4

Area of the circle = 3π sq.feet
