Answer 1

A.
What you would do is find the area of the circle and the square and subtract. (Area of square - area of circle) so it'd be (28*28)-(14^2*pi)

Answer 2

168.56 is the area. First you find the area of the circle (RadiusxRadiusx3.14). Then you find the area of the square. Subtract the area of the circle from the square and there is your answer.
