Answer
Let radius of inner circle = r cm.
From figure,
Area of shaded region = Area of outer circle - Area of inner circle
⇒ 770 = π(21)2 - πr2
⇒ 770 = 441π - πr2
⇒ 770 = π(441 - r2)
⇒ 441 - r2 =
⇒ 441 - r2 =
⇒ 441 - r2 =
⇒ 441 - r2 = 245
⇒ r2 = 441 - 245
⇒ r2 = 196
⇒ r = = 14 cm.
Hence, radius of inner circle = 14 cm.
