6*6=36 in^2 is the square piece.
c=pid
3=3.14*d
d=3/3.14
d=.9554 inches for the diameter of the circle.
Area of the circleis:
A=pir^2
A=3.14(.9554/2)^2
A=3.14*.4777^2
A=3.14*.2282
A=.7165 in^2 for the circle.
36-.7165
35.2835 in^2 is the remaing area of the square after the 3 in circumferance hols is removed.
