Answer:

31 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the area of the square, and subtract the area of the circle..

The area of the square is A = 12(12) = 144 in²

The radius of the circle is 6 in, so

The area of the circle is A = π(6²) = 36π

The area between the square and the circle is

144 - 36π

    144 - 36(3.14)

       30.90266447

          31 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

The answer would be A! :)
