<p>Derivation of the formula: The area of the ring is the difference between the area of the larger circle and the area of the smaller circle. The area of the larger circle with radius R is πR². The area of the smaller circle with radius r is πr². Thus, the area of the ring is π(R² - r²).</p>

<h2>How to Find the Area of a Ring?</h2>

<p>We can find the area of a ring using the difference between the areas of two circles. The formula to find the area is: If the radii R and r are given, we find the area of the ring using the formula Area = π(R² - r²).</p>

12
<p>For example, if R is 10 cm and r is 6 cm, what will be the area of the ring? Area = π(R² - r²) = π(10² - 6²) = π(100 - 36) = 64π The area of the ring is 64π cm² or approximately 201.06 cm² when using π ≈ 3.14.</p>
