Sandy cut out 2 squares and 7 circles from a piece of cardboard. The length of the sides of each square was x inches and radius of each circle was y inches. The expression below shows how many more square inches of cardboard Sandy used for making the circles than the squares:

7πy2 - 2x2

What does the term 7πy2 in the expression represent?
