The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles.
Correct answer: C. 4312 sq m
- A. 4192 sq m
- B. 4304 sq m
- C. 4312 sq m
- D. 4360 sq m
Explanation
Using C = 2πr, the radii are 264 m ÷ (2 x 22/7) = 42 m and 352 m ÷ (2 x 22/7) = 56 m. The difference in areas is π(56^2 - 42^2) sq.m = (22/7)(1,372) sq.m = 4,312 sq.m. Option b is a likely arithmetic error when subtracting the squared radii.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
