Answer:
30.96 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Side length of the square is also the diameter of the semicircle so:
r = 0.5 * 12 m = 6 m
Since you want the area of the shaded area, you have to subtract the area of both semi circles from the area of the square:
Square Area - Semi Circle Area - Semi Circle Area = Shaded Region Area
(12 m * 12 m) - (0.5 * 3.14 * 6^2 m) - (0.5 * 3.14 * 6^2 m)
= 144 - 56.52 - 56.52
= 30.96 m^2
