Answer

$36\pi-72\approx41.1\ unit^2$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Based on the given conditions, we have the radius of the circle $r=6$ Step 2. The diagonal of the square is the diameter of the circle $D=2r=12$ Step 3. The side length of the square is $s=\frac{D}{\sqrt 2}=6\sqrt 2$ Step 4. The area of the square is $A=s^2=72\ unit^2$ Step 5. Area of the blue region is $B=\pi r^2-A=36\pi-72\approx41.1\ unit^2$
