The radius of the Outer circle (with r₂) is 6 and the radius of the inner circle (with r₁) is 2. When objects are similar, they have a proportional relationship. If we take the outer circle and squeeze by one third, we get a radius of 6 x 1/3 = 2. On the other hand, if we start with the inner circle and stretch it by 3, we get a radius of 2 x 3 = 6.
Thus, to make r₂ similar, we use a scale factor of 1/3. The third choice is best.
Judging by the question at hand I generated this equation.
x+y=12
x=2y
I begin this question by plugging in the x=2y into the equation for x.
So the new equation should be 3y=12. I then divide the entire equation by 3 to get y=4.
Next I plug y=4 into the equation, the new equation should be x+4=12. I then subtract 4 from both sides to get x=8.
The two numbers are :
x=8 y=4
