A 3cm x 2cm rectangle sits inside a circle with radius of 4 cm. What is the area of the shaded region? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is [tex]44.24\ cm^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the circle minus the area of rectangle

step 1

Find the area of circle

The area of the circle is equal to

[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=4\ cm[/tex]

substitute

[tex]A=\pi (4)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=16\pi\ cm^{2}[/tex]

step 2

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

[tex]A=(3)(2)=6\ cm^{2}[/tex]

step 3

Find the difference

[tex]16\pi\ cm^{2}-6\ cm^{2}[/tex]

assume

[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]

[tex]16(3.14)\ cm^{2}-6\ cm^{2}=44.24\ cm^{2}[/tex]
