\n" ); document.write( "the inner circle of the ring? (assuming the circles forming the ring have the same center.)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let r = radius of the inner circle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Large circle area - inner circle = 90
