<pre>
{{{drawing(200,200,-1,1,-1,1,
rectangle(-1,-1,1,1), circle(0,0,1) )}}}

Area of the square MINUS the area of the circle.

The side of the square is 10 inches, which is also the diameter of the circle
The radius of the circle is one-half the diameter, so r = 5 inches

Area of square = side² = 10² = 100 square inches
Are of circle = <font face="symbol">p</font>r² = 3.14×5² = 3.1416×25 = 78.54

Area of the square MINUS the area of the circle = 100 - 78.54 = 21.46 sq. in.

To the nearest tenth, 21.5 square inches
