Answer:

We can start by using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2.

The area of the outer circle is greater than the area of a circle of radius n+13, meaning that:

π(2n+6)^2 > π(n+13)^2

The area of the inner circle is:

π(n-1)^2

The area of the region R is the area of the outer circle minus the area of the inner circle:

π(2n+6)^2 - π(n-1)^2 > π(n+13)^2

Now we can simplify and solve the inequality:

8n^2 + 96n + 72 > n^2 + 26n + 169

7n^2 + 70n - 97 > 0

(n-1)(7n+97) > 0

n > 1

The least possible value of n is 2, since n must be an integer, n=1 doesn't meet the requirement of the problem statement.

So the least possible value for n is 2.
