The white area of the inner circle is 4 1 of a unit circle, or A 1 = 4 π . The white area of the middle ring is 4 3 of the difference between the area of a circle with radius 3 and radius 1 , or A 2 = 4 3 ( π 3 2 − π 1 2 ) = 6 π . The white area of the outer ring is 4 1 of the difference between the area of a circle with radius 5 and radius 3 , or A 2 = 4 1 ( π 5 2 − π 3 2 ) = 4 π . The total white area is A w = 4 π + 6 π + 4 π = 4 4 1 π .
The total area of the figure is the area of a circle with radius 5 , or 2 5 π .
Therefore, the percentage of the given figure that is white is 2 5 π 4 4 1 π = 4 1 % .
