Let's see;
A%5BS%5D=s%5E2=%285ft%29%5E2=25ft%5E2
A%5BC%5D=%28pi%29d%5E2%2F4=%28pi%29%286ft%29%5E2%2F4=28.27ft%5E2
Then,
A%5BC%5D-A%5BS%5D=28.27-25=highlight%283.27ft%5E2%29, This much smaller the Area of Square than the Circle.
Or, %283.27%2F28.27%29100=11.567% smaller than the Area of Circle
Thank you,
