99 points at a zoo, the leopard pen has a ring-shaped sidewalk around it. the outer edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 12 m. the inner edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 8 m. (1 point for showing all of your work) a. write and simplify an expression for the exact area of the sidewalk. (1 point for the answer) b. find the approximate area of the sidewalk. use 3.14 to approximate π. (1 point for the answer)

Use this data in the problem below. follow the steps carefully. round to the nearest tenth. lot 3: week 1: 345 week 2: 340 week 3: 400 week 4: 325 step 1. jim enters the data and calculates the average or mean. step 2. jim calculates the deviation from the mean by subtracting the mean from each value. step 3. jim squares each deviation to remove negative signs. step 4. jim sums the squares of each deviation and divides by the count for the variance. step 5. jim takes the square root of the variance to find the standard deviation.
