Question from maddy, a student: Find the exact area of the region bounded by two concentric circles with radii 10 inches and 6 inches. |
Hi Maddy,
The area of a circle of radius r inches is π r2 square inches. Concentric circles have the same centre.
What is the area of a circle of radius 10 inches?
What is the area of a circle of radius 6 inches?
The region bounded by the two circles is the region between them, the orange region in the diagram above. What is its area?
