A circle is cut from a square piece of cloth, as shown:

A square, one side labeled as 52 inches has a circle inside it. The circle touches all the sides of the square. The portion of the square outside the circle is shaded.

How many square inches of cloth are cut from the square?

(π = 3.14)

First step to solve it is to find the area for the square (A=l times w), then the area of the circle (A=pi times radius square). Then just subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square. It should equal 2540.72 (round it if needed)
