How do you find the surface area of a border around a circle. Do you use the same formula as the surface are for a circle? 3.14 x Radius squared? An example would be ... you have a circle with a border that goes all around the circle and is 1ft away from it...
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "The area (I don't know why you call it surface area) is the area of the outside circle minus the area of the inside circle.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "If the difference is 1 inch radius, it's
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A%28r%2B1%29%5E2+-+pi%2Ar%5E2+=+pi%2A%282r%2B1%29\" where r is the radius of the inside circle.
