Question

The answer an example how to do it

Answer 1

≈ 1347 mi²

Explanation:

The shaded area is the difference between the outer area and the inner area

shaded area = outer - inner

= πr₁² - πr₂²

where r₁ = 14 + 11 = 25 and r₂ = 14, thus

A = π × 25² - π × 14² = 625π - 196π = 429π = 429 × 3.14 ≈ 1347 mi²

Answer 2

Explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the Outer circle - Area of the inner circle

Outer circle:

r = 14+11 = 25 mi

Area = πr² = π*25²

Inner Circle:

r = 14 mi

Area = πr² = π*14²

Area of shaded region = π*25² - π*14²= π(25² - 14²)

= 3.14*(625 - 196)

=3.14*429

= 1347.06 mi²
