Question Analysis

The main focus is applying the formula for the area of a ring. We need to determine the radii of the outer and inner circles from the given diameters and then calculate the difference between the areas of the two circles.

 

Key Concept Explanation

The area of a circle is given by , where  is the radius. For a ring, the area , with  being the radius of the outer circle and  being the radius of the inner circle.

 

Step - by - Step Solution

1. Determine the radii:

The inner diameter  cm, so the inner radius  cm.

The outer diameter  cm, so the outer radius  cm.

2. Apply the formula for the area of the ring:

Substitute into
