Answer: Area of the shaded region is 13611.9 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the shaded region is the area of the outer circle - the area of the inner circle.
The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as
Area = πr²
Where
r represents the radius of the circle.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
Considering the inner circle,
diameter = 148.4 cm
Radius = diameter/2 = 148.4/2 = 74.2 cm
Area = 3.14 × 74.2² = 17287.7096cm²
Considering the outer circle,
diameter = 148.4 + 25 + 25 = 198.4 cm
Radius = 198.4/2 = 99.2 cm
Area = 3.14 × 99.2² = 30899.6096cm²
Area of the shaded region is
30899.6096 - 17287.7096 = 13611.9 cm²
