A Correct answer
Explanation

Area of square = 14 * 14 = 196. Radius of inscribed circle = 7. Area of circle = (22/7) * 7 * 7 = 154. Difference = 196 - 154 = 42.

AI explanation

The diameter of the inscribed circle equals the side of the square, so the radius is 7 cm. The area of the square is 14 squared, or 196 square centimeters, and the area of the circle is pi times the radius squared, giving 22/7 times 49, which is 154. The unshaded area is 196 minus 154, yielding 42 square centimeters. The result is 42.
