A circle with radius of 2cm sits inside a circle with radius of

4 cm. What is the area of the shaded region?

Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

37.70 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of circle with radius 4 cm = (pi) r^2 = 3.14159 * (4 cm) ^2 = 50.27 cm^2

area of circle with radius 2 cm = (pi) r^2 = 3.14159 * (2 cm) ^2 = 12.57 cm^2

difference in areas = 37.70 cm^2
