The diameter of the larger circle is 20.4 cm. The diameter of the smaller circle is 10.8 cm. What is the approximate area of the shaded region? A. 326.7 cm² B. 289.4 cm² C. 235.1 cm² D. 72.3 cm²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the shaded region is the larger circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to use the area formula: pi*r^2 for both to figure out. first, do pi*10.2^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, calculate the information i have given you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trying is better than not trying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k i got 20.4 = 10.2^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.2^2 is just a fancy way for 10.2*10.2. so redo that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

104.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now multiply that by pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

326.6856

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now to the smaller part. do 5.2*5.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no multiply that by pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84.9056

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok subtract that from 326.6856

OpenStudy (anonymous):

241.78

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you rounded pi to 3.14 so the answer you got will be off by a little bit. your answer is the one that is closer to 241.78

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just calculated it with everything exact. 235.1 is closest, so thats your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx i will give u medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, and thank you. you deserve one too!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

na

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
