what is the area of the shaded region?

Answer:
125.6 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of circle = πr²
Area of shaded region = Area of outer circle - area of the inner circle
= 3.14*7*7 - [3.14*3*3]
= 153.86 - 28.26
= 125.6 cm²
OR
= 3.14 * 7 * 7 - [3.14*3.*3]
= 3.14* [7² - 3²]
= 3.14* (7+3)(7-3)
= 3.14* 10 * 4
= 125.6 cm²
