What is the area of the shaded region? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the 7 cm by 11 cm rectangle is ...

  A = bh

  A = (7 cm)(11 cm) = 77 cm^2

The area of the circle of radius 2 cm is ...

  A = πr^2 = π(2 cm)^2 = 4π cm^2

If the shaded area lies between the circle and the rectangle, its area is the difference of these:

  shaded area = 77 cm^2 -4π cm^2

Using π = 3.14, this area is ...

  (77 -4·3.14) cm^2 = 64.44 cm^2

Using π = 3.141592, this area is ...

  (77 -4·3.141592) cm^2 ≈ 64.43 cm^2

The shaded area is 64.43 cm^2, (64.44 if you use π=3.14).

Comment on π

Often, you are required to use a specific valued for π, even if that is inappropriate for the number of significant digits required in the answer. In recognition of that, we have offered both the correct answer (64.43) and the one associated with the value of π you may be expected to use.
