You are planning on using circles to compare the populations of California 37,691,000, Texas 25,675,000, and New York 19,465,000. If the circle for New York will have a 5 cm radius, how large should the radii for Texas and California be? Round to the nearest tenth of cm.

The areas of the circle will represent the population, so:
Area = πr²

5² : 19,465,000
C² : 37,691,000

California circle radius = 6.96 cm

For Texas:
5² : 19,465,000
T² : 25,675,000

Texas circle radius = 5.74 cm
