Answer:
≈ 30.63 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded area is calculated by subtracting the area of the inner circle from the area of the outer circle.
outer circle has radius = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 and inner circle has radius = 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5
shaded area = πr₁² - πr₂² (r₁ is outer and r₂ is inner )
A = π (4² - 2.5²)
= π(16 - 6.25) = 9.75π ≈ 30.63 cm²
20 • 12 is 240
1/2 • 12 • 4 is 24
so 264
Subtract 2x from each side
2x+3=4x+1
-2x -2x
3=2x+1
subtract 1 from each side
3=2x+1
-1 -1
2=2x
divide each side by 2
2=2x
1=x
