A circle with the radius of 6 sits inside a circle of 9. What is the area of the shaded region?
Accepted Solution
A:
Equation for the area of a circle- π r² The 2 radiuses are 6 and 9. 6 squared is 36 and 9 squared is 81. The smaller one is 36π and the larger one is 81π. The difference between them is the area of the shaded region. 81π - 36π = 45π Use 3.14 for π. 45 x 3.14 = 141.3 u² Hope this helps!
