shaded regions

[help7244]

using your calculators value for pi (3.14), find the area of the shaded region on the figure.

its a square with the height of 8ft and it was a circle inside going from edge to edge, being as big as it can be without going out side the square. the shaded region is not where the circle is, but around it near the corners.
(i dont know how to post a picture,and i relize its kinda hard to vision)

Do you know how to work out the area of a circle and of a square? Then the area of the shaded region (all four corners) would be the area of the square minus the area of the circle.

if im enviioning this right its actually not that hard to envision. take the area of the square and the area of the circle and subtract the area of the circle from the square basically everything dr said
