The length of the radius of one circle is 16 m, and the length of the radius of the other

The length of the radius of one circle is 16 m, and the length of the radius of the other is 5 m longer. Calculate the area of the ring formed by these circles.

The solution of the problem:
1. A ring is called a flat figure, which is a part of a plane between two circles with a common center, but having a different radius. The area of the ring will be determined as the difference between the areas of the larger and smaller circles.
2. The area of a circle of small radius is S1 = π * r1² = π * 16² = π * 256 (m²).
3. The length of the radius of a circle with a large radius is 16 + 5 = 21 m. The area of a circle with this radius is S2 = π * r2² = π * 21² = π * 441 (m²).
4. The area of the ring is S = π * (441 – 256) = 3.14 * 185 = 580.9 (m2).
Answer: The area of the ring is 580.9 m².
