8 G Find the area of the shaded area. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Sagot :

Answer:

47.1 units^2

Explanation:

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the bigger circle minus the area of the smaller circle.

Now, the area of a circle is given by

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

where r is the radius of the circle.

The radius of the bigger circle is r = 8; thereofre, the area is

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\pi(8)^2 \\ A=64\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

And the radius of the smaller circle is r = 7; therefore, the area is

[tex]A=\pi(7)^2[/tex][tex]A=49\pi[/tex]

The area of the shaded region is the difference between the two areas above:

[tex]Area=64\pi-49\pi[/tex][tex]\text{Area}=15\pi[/tex]

[tex]\text{Area}=15(3.1415)[/tex]

Rounded to the nearest tenth the answer is

[tex]\text{Area}=47.1[/tex]
