Question 188033: There is a diagram with a square inside a circle. The circle is shaded in, but the square isnt. You have to find the area of the shaded region. The only information given is that the square has a base and a height of 4. How do you do that? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is a diagram with a square inside a circle. The circle is shaded in, but the square isnt. You have to find the area of the shaded region. The only information given is that the square has a base and a height of 4. How do you do that?
-------------------
The area of the shaded region is the area of the circle minus the area of the square.
The area of the square = 4*4 = 16 sq units.
The diameter of the circle is the diagonal of the square. Using Pythagoras:
Area of the circle =
AC = pi*32/4 = 8pi
Shaded region = 8pi - 16
= ~ 9.1327 sq units
