The area inside the semicircle but outside the circle is shaded. What fraction of the semicircles area is shaded? Solution Area of the circle inscribed inside the semicircle Area of the larger circle (semicircles area x 2) (4, or the diameter of the inscribed circle is the same thing as the radius of the semicircle). Thus, the area of the semicircle is Part of the semi
