Do you have any idea as to the dimensions of the square?

bookworm14 · Answer

the formula for area of a circle is $$a=\pi r^2$$ 
 the formula for area of square is l * w
 in this picture the radius of the circle is given , it is 2 inches. if we insert this into our formula we get $$a=\pi2^2$$ so the area of the circle is 12.56

next, as you can see 2 inches is 1/2 of the side length of the square so the length od the square's side is 4 inches so you do 4 * 4 whick is 16 

subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square 16-12.56 
 your answer should be that the area of the shaded portion is 3.4 (exact is 3.44)
 
Hope This Helped !!
