What is the area of the shaded region?
Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure below.

The radius of the circle is, r = 5 cm.

The sides of the rectangle are:

l = 11 cm

b = 11 cm.

Compute the area of the shaded region as follows:

Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of circle

                                            $=[l\times b]-[\pi r^{2}]\\\\=[11\times 11]-[3.14\times 5\times 5]\\\\=121-78.50\\\\=42.50$

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

Answer 2

Answer:

50.27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. π × 5 × 5 = 25π cm
2. π × 3 × 3 = 9π cm
3. 25π - 9π = 16π cm = 50.27 cm
