The area of the square is the square of the length of the side; the side of this square is 4 inches.

The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. With the circle inscribed in a square with side length 4 inches, the radius of the circle is 2 inches.

Find the area of the square and the area of the circle; the question asks for the difference between the two areas.

Do the calculations and round as directed.
