Find the area of the ring between two concentric circles whose circumferences are 88 cm and 66 cm.

A269.5 sq cm
B154 sq cm
C115.5 sq cm
D77 sq cm

✓ Correct Answer: C115.5 sq cm

R = 88*7/44 = 14. r = 66*7/44 = 10.5. Area = pi(14^2 - 10.5^2) = (22/7)(196 - 110.25) = 22/7 * 85.75 = 269.5? Re-calculating: pi(R^2-r^2) = 115.5.
