Given that the diameter of Circle A is 6 cm , and the radius of Circle B is 18 cm , what can be concluded about the two circles?
1 answer:
Answer:
The radius of circle B is 6 times greater than the radius of circle A
The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
<em>Circle A</em>
The radius of circle A is
-----> the radius is half the diameter
<em>Circle B</em>
Compare the radius of both circles
The radius of circle B is six times greater than the radius of circle A
Remember that , if two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
All circles are similar
In this problem the scale factor is 6
so
therefore
The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A

Answer:
38cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The perimeter of a square can be found with the formula
2. Since its length and width are whole numbers, it must be either
1 x 18,
2 x 9 or
3 x 6
3. Using the formula in step 1, we can found that the perimeter in these cases are
38
22
18
respectively
4. Compare those perimeter we found in previous step, it's obvious that the greatest is 38. Solved.
