Answer

$(4-\pi)$ square units

Work Step by Step

The area of the shaded region is equal to the difference between the area of the square and the area the circle. The area ($A_1$) of the square is given by the formula $A_1=s^2$ where $s$ is the sidelength of the square. Substitute the value of $s$. $A_1=(2)^2$ $A_1=4$ square units The area $(A_2$) of the circle is given by the formula $A_2=\pi\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2$ where $d$ is the diameter. Substitute the value of $d$. $A_2=\pi\left(\frac{2}{2}\right)^2$ $A_2=\pi$ square units Thus, the area of the shaded region is: $A= $ Area of the square $-$ Area of the circle. $A=A_1-A_2 $ $A=4-\pi $ Hence, the area of the shaded region is $(4-\pi)$ square units.
