Question

Lol could someone explain to me the answer and how they got the answer I'm very confused about it

Answer 1

I'm assuming the deck is the shaded area.

To find the area of the deck, find the area of the large circle and subtract the area of the small circle from it:

A of large circle: R = (4.2/2) + 1.7 = 3.8; area: 3.8^2 * pi is about 45.3.

A of small circle: r = 4.2/2 = 2.1; area: 2.1^2 * pi is about 13.8

Now, subtract:

45.3 - 13.8 = 31.5 meters squared
