In the following figure, what is the area of the shaded circle inside of the square?
the figer is shaded circle inside squar and it touchs the sides of the aquare
.
Since they don't give you the length of one side of the square assign it a variable:
Let x = length of one side of square
then
the radius of the circle must be x/2
.
Area of any circle is (pi)r^2
So, the area of the circle (based on x) is
(pi)(x/2)^2
= (3.14)(x^2/4)
= 0.785x^2
