Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting what is given: (0.09)(n)=30

Where n is the unknown number and 0.09 is the numerical form of 9%. Solving for n gives:

n=(30/0.09)=333.333....

27% as a number is 0.27. So 27% of n is:

(0.27)(n)=(0.27)(333.333...)=90

27% of that number is 90.

The ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2.What is the ratio of their area

Nezavi [6.7K]

The ratio of their area is 9/4

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We use ratios to compares values. In this exercise, we are comparing the circumference of two circles, which is:

$3:2$

and we want to know what is the ratio of their area. Recall that the circumference of a circle is given by:

$C=2\pi r \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ C:Circumference \\ \\ r:Radius \ of \ the \ circle$

If we define:

$C_{1}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ C_{2}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 2 \\ \\ r_{1}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ r_{2}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 2$

Then, the ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2 is:

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{2\pi r_{1}}{2\pi r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}$

The area of a circle is given by:

$A=\pi r^2 \\ \\ A:Area \\ \\ r:Radius$

So the ratio of their area can be found as:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{\pi r_{1}^2}{\pi r_{2}^2} \\ \\ \\ A_{1}:Area \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ A_{2}:Area \ of \ circle \ 2$

So:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}^2}{r_{2}^2}=\left( \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} \right)^2 \\ \\ \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ \\ \boxed{\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{9}{4}}$
