Find the area of the circle and subtract it from the area of the square.

4. gabbyalicorn

Isn'the area of the circle 28?

5. anonymous

That is the length of one side of the square. It appears to me that the diameter of the circle would be 28, however.

6. gabbyalicorn

however.....?

7. anonymous

I meant instead of the area, it's the diameter.

8. anonymous

So radius=14

9. gabbyalicorn

so 3.14 x 14 or 3.14 x 28 ?

10. anonymous

Area of a circle is $\Large A=\Large \pi * \Large r^2$

11. gabbyalicorn

so 3.14 x 196

12. anonymous

yep.

13. gabbyalicorn

615.44

14. anonymous

And do you have the area of the square?

15. gabbyalicorn

28

16. gabbyalicorn

so 615.44 + 28 ?

17. anonymous

Well, that's the side length of it.

18. gabbyalicorn

so 643.44?

19. anonymous

Area of a square is $\large A=\large S^2$

20. gabbyalicorn

whats s?

21. gabbyalicorn

side?

22. anonymous

Side length

23. gabbyalicorn

the side length is... 28? right?

24. anonymous

Yep

25. gabbyalicorn

26. anonymous

27. gabbyalicorn
