What is the approximate area of the shaded region

That 10 is the diameter of the circle.
First let's find the area of the square.
A = s^2
Where 's' is the side.
A = 10^2
A = 100
Now let's find the area of the circle.
The '10' is also the diameter of the circle.
A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 5^2
A = 3.14 * 25
A = 78.5
Now subtract this from the area of the square.
100 - 78.5 = 21.5
So the approximate area of the shaded region is 21.5cm^2

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
