The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles ?

Correct Answer: 4312 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.  


  2 πs = 264 and  2 πl = 352  


 


 s =  264 2 π and l =  352 2 π    


Difference between the areas = π l 2 - π s 2    


  =  π 176 2 π 2 - 132 2 π 2  


  = 1762 π - 1322 π   


  = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) /  π   


  = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
