You are re-tiling the entry to your home and want to create a fancy circular medallion in the center. You want to create a large circle with a smaller circle centered inside. You want to tile the large circle with blue tile and the smaller circle with yellow tile. The circumference of the large circle is 113.097 inches and the radius of the smaller circle is 7 inches. How much blue tile do you need? (In square inches)
I just need someone to explain how to solve this please!!

Since you have the circumference of the large circle, you can easily find the radius of the large circle using the formula for the area of a circle. You can then use this information to find the area of the large circle and subtract the area of the smaller circle in order to get the area of the blue section. Hope this makes sense.
