The area is to be increased by 50%.

Area of the circle is given by: A = πr²

New Area = A' = A + 50% of A = 1.5 A 
Let the new radius be R.

So, we can say:

A' = πR² = 1.5 πr²
⇒

R² = 1.5r²
⇒
R = √1.5 r

This shows that the radius must be increased to square root of 1.5 times to increase the Area by 50%.

Diameter is the twice of radius, so the change in diameter will also be the same i.e square root of 1.5 times.

So, diameter must be made 1.225 times. In percentage this can expressed as 22.5%.

Hence, the answer to this question is 22.5%

The circle increase in area will be by a factor of 1.5
So corresponding increase in the diameter will be a factor of  sqrt 1.5 = 1.2247

Answer is 22.47 %

Is 4/9 half of 8/18 ?
elixir [45]
Divide by 2 and find out.

4/9 / 2

Multiply by its reciprocal:

4/9 * 1/2

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

4/18

4/18 does not equal 8/18, so 4/9 isn't half of 8/18.

HELP PLEASE!!
pogonyaev

Answer:

You need to have both the opposite and adjacent side of the right angled triangle. Tan = Opp/Adj

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents are pretty much everywhere. A good example is maybe a slide at the playground. You’d need the tangent to figure out the angle of the slide and how it is.

The radius from the center of a circle to the point of tangency point shows that it would be perpendicular to the tangent line considering that anything with a radius is circular and the tangent line is… a line, making it impossible to be parallel.
