7π cm², or ≈ 22 cm²
============
Calculate the area of the circular sheet and subtract the area of the circle that was removed.
The area of a circle is given by the formula:
- A = πr², where r is the radius
Let's calculate the area of the circular sheet:
Now, let's calculate the area of the circle that was removed:
To find the area of the remaining sheet, we subtract the area of the circle that was removed from the area of the circular sheet:
- A = 16π cm² - 9π cm² = 7π cm² ≈ 22 cm²
So, the area of the remaining sheet is 7π cm², or approximately 22 cm².
