Answer:

25,886.01 in²

Explanation:

The area of shaded region = Area of the outter circle (the larger circle) - area of the inner circle (the smaller circle)

Area of a circle = πr²

Radius of larger circle = PO = 93.4 in

Area of the larger circle = 3.14*93.4² = 27,391.98 in²

Radius of smaller circle = PO - RQ = 93.4 - 71.5 = 21.9

Area of smaller circle = 3.14*21.9² = 1,505.97 in²

Area of shaded region = 27,391.98 - 1,505.97 = 25,886.01 in²
