Help? Its high school geometry and I can't figure it out.

The area of the square is 6 x 6 = 36 square inches.

There are two semi circles which would make a complete circle.

Area of a circle is PI x r^2

The diameter of the circle is the length of the side of the square, the radius is half of that, so r = 3

Area of the circle is 3.14 x 3^2 = 3.14 x 9 = 28.26 square inches.

The space in the square not taken up by the circle would be 36 - 28.26 = 7.74 square inches.

The shaded portion is half of that:

Shaded portion = 7.74 / 2 = 3.9 square inches.

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
