When you figure out what your question is, you can probably answer it yourself.
maybe something like shaded/total = (4*3^2)/(10-2*3)^2
maybe something like shaded/total = (4*3^2)/(10-2*3)^2
henry2,
As + Ac = 10*10 = 100 in^2.
As = 100 - Ac = 100 - 4*(3*3) = 64 in^2 = shaded area.
Ac = Area cut.
As = 100 - Ac = 100 - 4*(3*3) = 64 in^2 = shaded area.
Ac = Area cut.
