I don't undersand how to figure ou the problem.

Answer 1

Find the area of the circle. Then find the area of the square. Subtract the square's area from the circle's area.

Answer 2

so the answer is 12.7?

Answer 3

sorry my sister typed in her name so it says her name not mine
that's my answer...12.7

Answer 4

I got a different answer.

Did you use this formula for the area of the circle? A = pi * r^2

Did you multiply 5 * 5 for the area of the square?

Answer 5

yes ma'm

Answer 6

Circle:
3.14 * 36 = 113.04 square inches
5 * 5 = 25 square inches

113.04 - 25 = 88.04 = 88.0 square inches

Answer 7

so the circle equals 3.14rsquare (r=3.5 square) and that equals 11

then for the square 5square and that equals 20

then 20-11=9
the answer is 9?

Answer 8

The radius is 6 inches.
Square that and multiply by 3.14 to find the area of the circle. See above.
