Question

Look at the two circles below . They share a center point . The larger circle has a radius of 10 inches . The distance between the smaller circle and the larger circle is 2 inches . Which best represents the shaded area between the two circles

Answer 1

π(10 in)² - π(8 in)²

Explanation:

Area between the two circles=

Area of larger circle less area of smaller circle, or

π(10 in)² - π(8 in)² Since the difference in the radii of the

two circles is 2, that means the smaller

circle has radius 10 - 2, or 8 (inches)
