Hi,

I seem to be making a mistake on this question...

I chose r=5 and s=2.

So I get 49pi - 25pi = 24pi for the area of the metal ring... but when I plug it into the answer choice I am not getting the result... Can someone help me identify where I am making the mistake.

Thanks!

pi r^2 -pi (r-s)^2
pi (r^2 -(r2 -2rs+s^2))
pi(2rs -s^2)
piS(2r-S)

Am I going crazy...I believe so...

2pi(2r-s)

2pi* (6-2) = 8pi?
