Question

What is the area of the shaded region in the archery target? Use 3.14 for pi.

Answer 1

690.8 in^2

Explanation:

First find the area of the three circles, by doing 3.14 r^2

With the innermost circle, 3.14 6^2 --> 113.04

With the second circle, 10 inches + 6 inches (inner circle radius), 3.14 16^2 --> 803.84.

With the outermost circle, you don't need it for the problem.

Then, we do subtraction to find the area of the shaded region, removing the "dount hole".

803.84 - 113.04 = 690.8 in^2
