First, let's get the outside area.

A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 10.24
A = 32.1536

Now, the inside area:

A = 3.14 * 2^2
A = 12.56

Subtract:

32.1536 - 12.56 = ?
wow. ur really good! =) thank you!
You're welcome. :-)
Combine like terms, in this case simplify to multiply:
3.2^2pi its 10.24pi
2^2pi its 4pi

then subtract like terms
(10.24 - 4) pi = 6.24pi
