Dolores is working on her flower garden. Her garden is a square with an area of 81 square feet. She wants to cover a circular area inside her garden with mulch. The edge of the circle will touch each side of the square. How many square feet will be covered in mulch? and what area of the garden is not covered in mulch?

63.62 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is given by b*b=b²

Where b is the measurement of any side

Given area of 81 ft² then to get b, we get rhe squareroot

b²=81

b=√81=9

This 9 is the diameter of rhe circular area that mulch covers.

Radius is half the diameter hence 0.5*9=4.5 ft

The area of circle will be given by

A=πr²

Substituting 4.5 in for r then

A=π*4.5²=63.6172512351933 ft²

Rounded off as 63.62 ft²
