Question

A metal washer has an outer diameter of 14mm and an inner diameter of 6mm.Use the value of 3.14 for the to find the area of the metal washer

Answer 1

Answer:

502.4 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the larger circle, and then that of the smaller one.

Then subtract the latter (2nd) area from the first.

larger circle area           smaller circle area

-------------------------           ---------------------------

 3.14(14 mm)^2                   3.14(6 mm)^ 2

This comes out to 3.14[14^2 - 6^2] mm^ 2 =  3.14[196 - 36] mm^2, or

3.14(160 mm^2) = 502.4 mm^2

The area of the metal washer is 502.4 mm^2.
