Area of a circle is directly proportional to the square of radius of the circle while the circumference is proportional to the radius of the circle. This means that if the radius of a circle is increased x times, then its area will be increased to x^2 times the original area, and the circumference will increase to x times the original circumference.
Thus when the radius is doubled, or in other words if radius mad 2 time the original radius, the area of circle will become 2^2 = 4 time the original area. The circumference will become 2 times the original circumference.
We can calculate exact area and circumference of a circle from its radius using the following equations:
Area of circle = (pi/4)*r^2
Circumference of circle = 2*pi*r
Where r is the radius of the circle.
I know this is a lot, sorry.
The answer is A.5/8.
Why?
Multiply 1/4 with 2/2 to get the same denominator as 7/8, 8. That will yield 2/8.Then, simply subtract 2/8 from 7/8 (7/8 - 2/8), and that equals 5/8.
Hope this helps!
The question is "What is the scale of the model to the actual statue"
That means you must put 2/15.
2 being the model
15 being the actual statue
Take that fraction and equal is to 1/x.
Multiply 15 to 1 and 2 to x.
In the end, to solve, you divide 15 by 2x.
The answer is X=7.5
1 : 7.5
The last option is the answer
