Answer:

7 pi cm^2 or  approximately 21.98 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the large circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi 3^2

A = 9 pi

Then find the area of the small unshaded circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi (1)^2

A = pi

There are two of these circles

pi+ pi = 2 pi

Subtract the unshaded circles from the large circle

9pi - 2 pi

7 pi

If we approximate pi as 3.14

7(3.14) =21.98 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf Find \ the \ area \ of \ the \ two \ smaller \ circles.[/tex]

[tex]\sf{Area \ of \ a \ circle:} \: \pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf r=radius \ of \ circle[/tex]

[tex]\sf There \ are \ two \ circles, \ so \ multiply \ the \ value \ by \ 2.[/tex]

[tex](2) \pi (1)^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf Find \ the \ area \ of \ the \ larger \ circle.[/tex]

[tex]\sf{Area \ of \ a \ circle:} \: \pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf r=radius \ of \ circle[/tex]

[tex]\pi (3)^2[/tex]

[tex]9\pi[/tex]

[tex]\sf Subtract \ the \ areas \ of \ the \ two \ circles \ from \ the \ area \ of \ the \ larger \ circle.[/tex]
