Side of the square is 2. Assuming that the shaded circle is inscribed in side the square, ie circle touches the sqaure at exactly one point on each side, then center of the circle is half the distance from each side.

==> radius of the circle = hald the side of the square = 1.

Area of the circle = Pi r ^2 = Pi.
