Answer:


8\pi \ in^2

Explanation:

1. Find the area of the circle with diameter of 2 in. If diameter is 2 in, then the radius is
2/ 2=1\ in.

Area
=\pi r^2=\pi\cdot 1^2=\pi \ in^2

2. Find the area of the circle with diameter of 6 in. If diameter is 6 in, then the radius is
6/ 2=3\ in.

Area
=\pi r^2=\pi\cdot 3^2=9\pi \ in^2

3. Find the difference in area:


9\pi -\pi =8\pi \ in^2
