Take the area of the large (28\" x 28\") square, subtract the area of the 14\" radius circle
\n" ); document.write( "and add back the area of the inner square (1/2 the area of 4 - 14\" x 14\" squares):
\n" ); document.write( "Shaded Area=large square area-circle area+small square area
\n" ); document.write( "Shaded area=\"%2828in%29%5E2-%28pi%29%2814in%29%5E2%2B%284%29%281%2F2%29%2814in%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Shaded area=\"784in%5E2-%2822%2F7%29196in%5E2%2B392in%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Shaded area=\"784in%5E2-616in%5E2%2B392in%5E2=560in%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The shaded area is 560 square inches.
