A square is cut out of a circle whose diameter is approximately 14 feet. What is the approximate area of the remaining portion of the circle in square feet?
Question
Answer:
see the attached figure to better understand the problemwe know that
the side of square=2*[r*√2/2]=r*√2
r=14 ft
the side of square=14*√2=19.80 ft
[area of the remaining portion of the circle]=[ area of a circle]-[area of a square]
[area of a square]=(14√2)²=392 ft²
[ area of a circle]=pi*14²=615.75 ft²
therefore
[area of the remaining portion of the circle]=615.75-392=223.75 ft²
the answer is 223.75 ft²
