Answer:
D. 30.96 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the shaded region = area of the the square - area of the circle
= (s²) - (πr²)
s = 12 in
r = radius of circle = ½ of 12 in = 6 in
π = 3.14
Plug in the values into the equation
Area of the shaded region = (12²) - (3.14*6²)
= 144 - 113.04
= 30.96 in²
