Given a circle with an area of 36 and another with an area of 16, compare the ratios of the two radii, two diameters, two circumferences, and the two areas.
Added by Debra J.
Step 1
Ratios of the two radii: The area of a circle is proportional to the square of its radius. Therefore, if the area of one circle is 36, its radius is √36 = 6. Similarly, if the area of the other circle is 16, its radius is √16 = 4. The ratio of the two radii is 6/4 Show more…
