What is the area of this shaded region?
\(Area\ of\ a\ circle:\ A_O=\pi r^2\\\\larger\ circle:\\R=3+(4:2)=3+2=5\ (in)\\\\A_1=\pi\cdot5^2=25\pi\ (in^2)\\\\smaller\ circle:\\r=4:2=2\ (in)\\\\A_2=\pi\cdot2^2=4\pi\ (in^2)\\\\The\ area\ of\ shaded\ region:\\\\A=A_1-A_2\\\\A=25\pi-4\pi=21\pi\ (in^2)\\\\Answer:\boxed{A.\ 21\pi\ in^2}\)
Answer:
21π in²
A is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given figure, two concentric circle form.
Diameter of inner circle = 4 in
Thickness between the circle 3 in
Diameter of outer circle = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 in
Radius is half of diameter of circle.
Outer circle radius, R = 5 in
Inner circle radius, r = 2 in
Formula:
Area of circle \(=\pi r^2\)
Area of shaded region = Area of outer circle - Area of inner circle
\(=\pi R^2-\pi r^2\)
\(=\pi(5^2-2^2)\)
\(=\pi(25-4)\)
\(=21\pi\text{ in}^2\)
Hence, The area of shaded region is 21π in²
