Transcript text: Find the area of the blue region above. (The figure is not drawn to scale and remember to use $\pi \approx 3.14$ for all calculations involving $\pi$ ).
Area = $\square$ $\mathrm{m}^{2}$
Round answers to 2 decimal places as needed.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the area of the square.
The area of the square is side * side, or 8 mi * 8 mi = 64 mi2.
Step 2: Calculate the area of the circle.
The area of a circle is πr2. The radius is half the diameter, or 4 mi. The area of the circle is 3.14 * (4 mi)2 = 3.14 * 16 mi2 = 50.24 mi2.
Step 3: Calculate the area of the blue region.
The blue area is the area of the square minus the area of the yellow circle.
64 mi2 - 50.24 mi2 = 13.76 mi2
