Question

The circumference of Circle K is pi. The circumference of Circle L is 4xpi.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio of circumferences: $\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}$

Ratio of radii: $\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}$

Ratio of areas: $\displaystyle\frac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given:

- The circumference of Circle K is $\pi$

- The circumference of Circle L is $4\pi$

Therefore, the ratio of their circumferences would be:

$\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{4\pi}$ ⇒ $\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}$ when simplified

The formula for circumference is $C=2\pi r$, where r is the radius. To find the ratio of the circles' radii, we must identify their radii through their given circumferences.

If the circumference of Circle K is $\pi$, or $1\pi$, then its radius is $\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$.

If the circumference of Circle L is $4\pi$, then its radius is $\displaystyle\frac{4}{2}$, which is 2.

Therefore the ratio their radii would be:

$\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{{2}}$ ⇒ $\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}$ when simplified

The formula for area is:

$A=\pi r^2$

First, let's find the area of Circle K:

$A=\pi (\displaystyle\frac{1}{2})^2\\\\A=\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}\pi$

Now, let's find the area of Circle L:

$A=\pi (2)^2\\A = 4\pi$

Therefore, the ratio of their areas would be:

$\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{4}\pi}{4\pi}$ ⇒ $\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{4}$ ⇒ $\displaystyle\frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4}$ ⇒ $\displaystyle\frac{1}{16}$ when simplified

I hope this helps!
