Algebra.Com's Answer #529017 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Examining this part: (The figure is a circle, with radius r, with another shaded circle surrounding it. The shaded part has a width marked 'w'.) \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The shaded region would be surrounding the unshaded smaller circle. You want the area for the shaded region. This will be a difference. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Larger circle area, \n" ); document.write( "Smaller circle area, \n" ); document.write( "The shaded region should be the larger region minus the small circle region, leaving just the circular shaded region with the width of w.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
