By 1.73.

Because the formula for the area of a circle is
\pi×r².

So let us say the radius for circle A is 1. so area is equal to.
\pi×2²
which is equal to 12.56

Now you need to triple the area, so if i am in the right path you would multiply area of circle A 3 times leaving you with 37.699

Now, we make use of the equation solving skills.

The way to find the radius is.

A=
\pi×r²

So

√(A÷
\pi)



So puting and solving the equations the factor of multiplication gives us 1.73

a whole circle =  to 360 so you have to think of the radius to a factor for multiplying
