Can someone plz help me out with inequality using polar coordinates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (turingtest):

um... not really sure if I get the question, but the area swept out by r is\[\frac38\le r\le\frac12\]and theta is just\[0\le\theta\le2\pi\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no sorry inner r is 3/16

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\frac3{16}\le r\le\frac12\]\[0\le\theta\le2\pi\]I suppose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the answer

OpenStudy (turingtest):

do you need explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yes i dont understand how u got thise values

OpenStudy (turingtest):

well polar coordinates are defined with radius and angle. Here are the diameters|dw:1329346620272:dw|so we know the radii are half this. therefor radius of any point on the washer is between 3/16inches (the radius of the inner circle) and 1/2inches (the radius of the outer circle)\[\frac3{16}\le r\le\frac12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got that

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1329346791420:dw|as for the angle, the washer is circular, so the angle has to sweep out a complete circle:\[0\le\theta\le2\pi\](we never go around the circle more than once, so no need to put more than 2pi))
