Answer:

Area shaded part = 116 to three sig digs.

Explanation:

I don't know if your answer is correct or not, but the number of sig digs is not. The way the question has been posed is not to 3 sig digs either.

The answer should be 116 if they want it to three sig digs.

Let's see if the answer is correct

Area of the whole circle.

  • Area of a circle = pi*r^2
  • r = 6.5 cm Note: this is 2 sig digs.
  • pi= 3.14
  • Area = 3.14 * 6.5^2
  • Area = 3.14 * 42.25
  • Area= 132.665

Area of unshaded smaller circle

  • pi = 3.14
  • r = 2.3
  • Area = 3.14 * 2.3^2
  • Area = 3.14 * 5.29
  • Area = 16.61

Area of the shaded part

  • Area of shaded part = area of the whole circle - Area of smaller circle
  • Area of the shaded part = 132.66 - 16.61
  • Area of the shaded part = 116.01
  • To 3 sig digs is 116
