Question

The largest possible circle is cut out of a square whose side length is 12 feet. What will be the approximate area, in square feet, of the remaining board?

Answer 1

30.96 ft²

Explanation:

area of square = 12 x 12 = 144 ft²

area of circle = (3.14)(6²) = 113.04 ft²

144 - 113.04 = 30.96 ft²
