Question

9 m 3 m 3 m What is the area, in square meters, of the shaded region in the diagram?

Answer 1

Answer:

Notice that the side length of the square is  38 m.

area of square  =  (side length)2  =  (38 m)2   =   1444 m2

Notice that the diameter of the circle is  38 m .

And its radius  =  diameter / 2   =   38m / 2   =   19 m

area of circle  =  pi * radius2  =  pi * (19m)2  =  pi * 361 m2   ≈   1133.54 m2

So......

area of shaded region  =  area of square - area of circle

area of shaded region  ≈       1444 m2     -  1133.54 m2

area of shaded region  ≈    310.46 m2

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the side length of the square is  38 m.

area of square  =  (side length)2  =  (38 m)2   =   1444 m2

Notice that the diameter of the circle is  38 m .

And its radius  =  diameter / 2   =   38m / 2   =   19 m

area of circle  =  pi * radius2  =  pi * (19m)2  =  pi * 361 m2   ≈   1133.54 m2

So......

area of shaded region  =  area of square - area of circle

area of shaded region  ≈       1444 m2     -  1133.54 m2

area of shaded region  ≈    310.46 m2
