<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The area of Marco’s new circle will be
cm²</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
Point G is the center of the small circle.
Point X is the center of the large circle.
Points G, Y, and X are colinear.
Hence,
GY = 10 cm
YX = 16 cm
So, GX = GY + YX = 10 + 16 = 26 cm
Hence, area of the circle with radius as GX will be,

Therefore, the area of Marco’s new circle will be
cm²
