Answer:Area of the shaded region is 603.2 yards^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram contains two circles. The smaller circle has a radius of 8 yards.
The bigger circle has a radius of 16 yards.
The area of a circle is expressed as
Area of circle = πr^2
Where
r = radius of circle
π is a constant whose value is 3.142
The area of the smaller circle would be
3.142 × 8^2 = 201.088 yards^2
The area of the bigger circle would be
3.14 × 16^2 = 804.352 yards^2
Area of the shaded region would be area of the bigger circle - area of the smaller circle. It becomes
804.352 - 201.088 = 603.2 yards^2
