Help me step by step pls!

A family is building a circular fountain in the backyard. The yard is rectangular and measures 14x by 19x and the fountain is going to be circular with a radius of 6x. once the fountain is built, what will be the area of the remaining yard?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the area of a rectangle ? What is the area of a circle?

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

Answer choices: A. 230 (pi)x^2 B. 230 x^2 C. 266x^2 - 6(pi)x^2 D. 2x^2 (133 - 18(pi))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find area of rectangle. Find area of circle. Rectangle minus circle is left.

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

So far I have found that the area of the rectangle is 266x and the circle is 113.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job! The area of the circle is wrong though, you are given the radius = 6x, therefore area = pi * (6x)^2 =

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

hrm. I got the same answer...what is it? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36pi(x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the choices has 36pi(x)^2

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

none but, one of them show the sum of 266 being subtracted by it so is it A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think of D?

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

how is it D? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The remaining area is the difference between the rectangle and circle. Do you understand that part?

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

yes lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of the rectangle is 266x The area of the circle is 36pi(x)^2 The difference would be 266x^2 - 36pi(x)^2 Notice that x^2 is common to the equation, factoring it out will lead to 2x^2(133-18pi) Isn't this D?

OpenStudy (qwertykingghlpo):

yes

Thank you @thushananth01
