Area of the square is 64 square centimeters
Square root of that is 8 cm which is the length of each side of the square.
Diagonal of the square is square root of (8^2 + 8^2 = 128).
Square root of 128 is 11.3137.
Half of that is 5.6568.
That is the radius of the circle.
Area of the circle is * radius squared = * (5.6568)^2 = 100.53096 square cm.
Area of the part of the circle not covered by the square is 100.53096 square cm minus 64 = 36.53096 square cm.
