		HI rob.. ok from what you are wanting I presume you mean by the 1/2 inch as a cirlce within the circle right?  
 
1/2" trimmed off the outside? If so the area of the 1.5 inch diameter circle(center piece) will be 1.767 inch^3. 
 
The original 2.5 inch diameter circle has an area of 4.908inches^3.  
 
 
The 1/2 inch piece you trimmed off is basically pi.. 3.141592654inches^3 etc etc etc..  
 
Does that help?
