Solution
Let R and r be the radius of the big and small circles respectively.
Given that the circumference of the bigger circle is 396 cm
Thus, we have,
2πR = 396 cm
⇒ R = `[ 396 xx 7 ]/[ 2 xx 22 ]`
⇒ R = 63 cm
Thus, the area of the bigger circle = πR2
= `22/7 xx 63^2`
= 12474 cm2
Also, given that the circumference of the smaller circle is 374 cm
⇒ 2πr = 374
⇒ r = `[ 374 xx 7 ]/[ 2 xx 22 ]`
⇒ r = 59.5 cm
Thus, the area of the smaller circle = πr2
= `22/7` x 59.52
= 11126.5 cm2
Thus the area of the shaded portion = 12474 - 11126.5 = 1347.5 cm2
