I got that P=~1.28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

144-36pi/144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ssqr = 12*12=144 Scrcl = 3.14*6*6 P=(12*12)/(pi*6*6) this is what I did. it's not right, though is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its wrong subtract the area of the circle from that of the square then divide that by 144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got like .215, though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats riught

OpenStudy (mr.math):

No, indian is right. You need to fine the shaded area over the total area. The shded area=area of the square-area of the circle=\(12^2-6^2\pi\). The total area=the square area=\(12^2\).
