Hi susanto3311! :)

What is the area of a square with side 10?
And a circle with diameter 10?

i don't understand what do you answer...

The blue area is the area of the square minus the area of the circle.

A square with side $s$ has area $s^2$.
A circle with diameter $d$ has area $\frac 1 4 \pi d^2$.

What would you get if you calculate those?
