i think it is a

@bohotness

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz help me, do u agree with my answer?? or is it wrong, if so , plz explain why

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

first find the area of the square |dw:1425928588512:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

area of square =\(side^2=28^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 28 by 28 would it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

replace the side with 28

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it would be \(28\times 28\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be 784

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what? i am a bit confused.....

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

ok correct , now find the area of circle as the circle is inscribed in the square ,the radius of circle would be \(r=\dfrac{28}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

area of circle =\(\large \pi r^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the closest is a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

615.75

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now find the area of the circle inside the square, and subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

area of circle =\(3.14\times 14\times 14\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

615.44

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If you use \(\pi = 3.14\), then one of the choices has the exact answer.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

ok correct now find the difference of area of square -area of circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so 28 divided by 2 is 14, and 14 times pi is 43.96 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

659.40

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

the above statement is same as \(\large 784-615.44\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right @mathmath333 and @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a basically

i am going with a, thx
