Answer:

The diameter of the plate is 15 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- All circles are similar

- In the similar circles the ratio between their circumferences is equal

 to the ratio between their diameters

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The circumference of a frying pan is 78.5 centimeters

∵ The circumference of a plate is 47.1 centimeters

∵ The frying pan and the plate are shaped circles

∴ The frying pan and the plate are similar

∴ C 1/C 2 = d 1/d 2 , where C 1 is the circumference of the frying pan ,

   C 2 is the circumference of the plate , d 1 is the diameter of the

   frying pan and d 2 is the diameter of the plate

∵ The diameter of the frying pan is 25 centimeters

∴ d 1 = 25

∵ C 1 = 78.5

∵ C 2 = 47.1

∵ C 1/C 2 = d 1/d 2

∴ 78.5/47.1 = 25/d 2

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 78.5(d 2) = (47.1)(25)

∴ 78.5(d 2) = 1177.5

- Divide both sides by 78.5

∴ d 2 = 15

∵ d 2 is the diameter of the plate

∴ The diameter of the plate is 15 centimeters

=√(18)²+(-7)²

=√324+49

=√373
