This is how it looks like:
It is given that the area of the shaded region is $35 cm^2$.
All of my attempts so far ended up in a two-variable equation in terms of $r_1$ and $r_2$ (the radii of the larger circle and smaller circle respectively).
So, how do I find the area enclosed between the two circles, that is, the area of the larger circle minus the area of the smaller circle?

Say $R_s$ is the radius of small circle and $R_b$ is the radius of big one, then
From (2) you just find, that $R_b^2 - R_s^2 = 70$ and then substituting it into (1) you get $70\pi$
