Answer: 879.20 km²
Explanation:
The diameter of the big circle is 2(10) + 18 = 38
divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius (r) = 19
Area (A) = π·r²
 = π(19)²
 = 361π
The diameter of the small circle is 18 
divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius (r) = 9
Area (A) = π·r²
 = π(9)²
 = 81π
The area of the shaded region is the difference between the big circle and the small circle.

 = 361π - 81π
 = 280π
 = 280(3.14)
 = 879.20
