A circle fits in a square with sides of 12 inches. What is the approximate area of the shaded region between the square and the circle? (Use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:
31 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the area of the square, and subtract the area of the circle..
The area of the square is A = 12(12) = 144 in²
The radius of the circle is 6 in, so
The area of the circle is A = π(6²) = 36π
The area between the square and the circle is
144 - 36π
144 - 36(3.14)
30.90266447
31 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
