Answer:
502.4 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the individual area of the ring, you first need to find the area of the white circle. Then, you need to find the area of the circle and the ring (which can be found by adding the width of the ring to the radius of the circle). Finally, you can find the area of the ring through subtraction.
Area (White Circle)
radius = 1/2 diameter
radius = (1/2) x 36 ft
radius = 18 ft
Area = πr²
Area = π(18 ft)²
Area = π(324 ft²)
Area = 1017.36 ft²
Area (White Circle + Ring)
radius = 1/2 diameter + width of ring
radius = (1/2 x 36 ft) + 4 ft
radius = 22 ft
Area = πr²
Area = π(22 ft)²
Area = π(484 ft²)
Area = 1519.76 ft²
Area (Ring)
Area (Ring) = Area (White Circle + Ring) - Area (White Circle)
Area (Ring) = 1519.76 ft² - 1017.36 ft²
Area (Ring) = 502.4 ft²
