A metal washer 4 cm in diameter is pierced with a 1.75 cm hole. What is the surface area of the washer in inches?
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Area of a circle = pi*r^2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "p*2^2 - pi*0.875^2 = pi[4-0.7656]
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "= [pi*3.2344] cm^2}[1/2.54}^2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "= 1.5750 in^2
