Question 362727: I have a large circle with a radius of 3m and a smaller cirlce inside of it with a radius of 2m can you tell me what the area is around the circle between the 3m outside and the 2m inside?? and show me the formula pleeeeeeease Answer by Jstrasner(112) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hey,
For this one, you need to find the areas of both circles and subtract the smaller area from the larger area.
The formula to find the area of a circle is pi x (r^2), or pi times radius squared.
For the larger circle it would be: pi(3^2) = 9 pi
For the smaller circle it would be: pi(2^2) = 4 pi
9 pi - 4 pi = 5 pi = 5 x 3.14 = 15.7m^2 (meters squared)
I hope this helps!
