In the diagram are two concentric circles of radii r and R respectively with centre O. If r = \(\frac{2}{5}\)R, express the area of the shaded portion in terms of \(\pi\) and R

A_{(\text{shaded portion})} = (\pi R^2 - \pi r^2) r = (\frac{2}{5})R

A_{(\text{shaded portion})} = (\pi R^2 - \pi (\frac{2}{3} R)^2 = \pi R^2 - \frac{4 \pi R^2}{25})

= (\pi R^2(1 - \frac{2}{3}) = \frac{21}{25} \pi R^2)
