Answer:

168.56 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area will be found by subtracting the area of the circle from the area of the square.

The area of the square will be given by A = 28(28) = 784 in².

The area of the circle will be given by A = 3.14(14²) = 3.14(196) = 615.44 in².

The area of the shaded portion is given by

784-615.44 = 168.56 in²
