Hint : Find the area of unshaded region and subtract it from the area of square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i figured out the area of the square which was 36 but i dont know how to figure out the shaded part

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

area of shaded region = (area of square) - (area of the quarter-circle) square has side lengths of 6 the circle has a radius of 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your area of the circle would be 36 pi and then subtract that from 6 and divide by 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 36

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

careful about when you divide by 4..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the area of the full circle is 36pi what is the area of the quarter-circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm.. would it be 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer has to look like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would my answer be A= 36-9pi.. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
