Question 876802: Hi,
The area of a circle of radius r is given by the formula A=πr^2. Use this fact to find the area for the shaded area in the figure below.
(The figure is a circle, with radius r, with another shaded circle surrounding it. The shaded part has a width marked 'w'.)
The answer given is A=2πrw + πw^2. Can you please explain how this is done.

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'.)
The shaded region would be surrounding the unshaded smaller circle. You want the area for the shaded region. This will be a difference.
Larger circle area, .
Smaller circle area, .
The shaded region should be the larger region minus the small circle region, leaving just the circular shaded region with the width of w.
-----which should be clear enough. ---commutative property for multiplication.

Area of inner (smaller) circle:
With width of shaded region being “w,” then radius of larger circle = r + w
Area of outer (larger) circle = , or , or
Area of shaded region = , or
