Question

(PLEASE HELP) Find the area of the shaded region. Use the pi key on your calculator as needed. When possible, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

First work out the area of the whole circle.

- Using πr², r = 6.

- π x 6² = 113.097335529

Now work out the area of the square.

- Base x Height

- 8.5 x 8.5 = 72.25

Now find the difference.

113.097335529 - 72.25 = 40.847335529

Area of shaded region = 40.8 (nearest tenth)
