You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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?
-------
Area of a circle = pi*r^2
-------
Equation:
p*2^2 - pi*0.875^2 = pi[4-0.7656]
-------------
= [pi*3.2344] cm^2}[1/2.54}^2
----------------
= 1.5750 in^2
