Answer:
361.1 ft^2
Explanation:
The area of the inner circle is
A = pi r^2 = pi (9)^2 = 81 pi
The area of the outer circle is
A = pi r^2 where r is (9+5) = 14
A = pi (14)^2=196 pi
The shaded area is the outer circle minus the inner circle
196 pi - 81 pi
115 pi
Using 3.14 for pi
115 * 3.14
361.1 ft^2
