The figure shows an annulus with a rectangle inscribed in the outer circle and with the inner circle inscribed in the rectangle.
If the radii of the 2 circles are 25 and 7, respectively, find the area of the shaded region to three decimal places.

O X to form right triangle O X Y . By pythagorean theorem, we get
DrawX Y = 2 5 2 − 7 2 = 2 4
Compute for ∠ Y O X , we get
∠ Y O X = sin − 1 2 5 2 4 ≈ 7 3 . 7 4
From the diagram, we can see that the area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the right triangle minus the area of the circular sector. We have

x = 2 5 2 − 7 2 = 2 4 θ = tan − 1 ( 7 2 4 ) ≈ 7 3 . 7 4
Area of shaded Regon = Area of triangle - Area of sector
the Area = 2 1 × 2 4 × 7 − 4 9 π 3 6 0 7 3 . 7 4 ≈ 5 2 . 4 6 8
