OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract the area of one circle from the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have a circle of radius 6, and you have a circle of radius 3. So your answer is Answer: (Area of circle of radius 6) - (Area of circle of radius 3) The formula for the area of a circle is pi*r^2 where r is the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example: The area of a circle with radius 8 =\[\pi r^2=\pi (8)^2=\pi (64) =64 \pi\] Since multiplication is commutative (doesn't matter what order you multiply numbers) I switched the position of pi and 64 in the last step.

Also recall that 8x-4x=4x That is if you have \[90 \pi - 60 \pi=30 \pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer A=9pi-9/2 ^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer= \[\pi (6)^2 - \pi (3)^2 = 36 \pi - 9 \pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify...36-9=27....so you have....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I could see where you got the 9pi but where did you get 9/2 ^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 27pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankyou >.<
