Find the difference between the areas of these 2 shapes to 2 decimal places. Rectangle (width 4cm length 2.5cm) Circle (diameter 2.4) use pi = 3.14

Rectangle:

Area = width x length

hence area = 4cm x 2.5cm

area = 10cm2 

Circle: 

Area = pi x radius2

Radius = 1/2 x diameter

Radius = 1.2cm

Area = 1.22 x 3.14

Area = 1.44 x 3.14

Area = 4.5216

Difference between areas =10cm2 - 4.5216cm2

= 5.4784cm2

2.dp = 5.48cm2
