4 Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If r=1 the square is 2 by 2 = 4 sq units
--------
The area of the circle = = pi units
The unwatered part is:
4 - pi sq units
=~ 0.86 sq units.
0.86/4 = 0.215
=~ 21.5%
Your answer is correct, and it's the same %age for any size square.
-------------------
PS It's pi, the Greek letter, not pie, the dessert.
