the diagram shows a circle drawn inside a square the circle touches the edges of the square

Answer:
69.5309950592 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Square:
Area = [tex]Length * Length[/tex]
Area = 18*18
Area = 324 square cm
Area of circle:
Diameter = 18 cm
Radius = 9 cm
Area = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
Area = (3.14)(9)²
Area = (3.14)(81)
Area = 254.469004941 square cm
Area of Shaded area:
=> Area of square - Area of circle
=> 324 - 254.469004941
=> 69.5309950592 cm²
