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
