A circle is placed in a square with a side length of 4 yd, as shown below. Find the area of the shaded region

Question

Use the value 3.14 for pie sign, and do not round the answer. Include the correct unit

Answer 1

Does the circle touch all 4 sides of the square? The square has an area of 4² = 16, and the circle has an area of 3.14r².

 

If the circle touches all 4 sides, the diameter is 2 so the area us 3.14(4) = 12.56.

 

16 - 12.56 = your answer
