What are the inequalities describing the flat surface of a washer that is one and a half inches in diameter with an inner hole of diameter three fourths inches?

Given the information in the question, there is no need for any inequality. the flat surface can be described as an equality. Outer diameter = one and a half inches => outer radius = 0.75 inches. Inner diameter = three fourths inches => inner radius = 0.375 inches. Area = pi*(0.752 - 0.3752) square inches. So one possible set of inequalities is 0 < area < 1,000,000,000 sq inches!
