Answer:

The diameter of circle is 30 unit.

The correct answer is obtion (c) 30 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

  • Area of circle = 225π


\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

To Find :

  • Radius of circle
  • Diameter of circle


\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

Solution :

Finding the radius of circle by substituting the values in the formula :


\implies{\sf{Area_((Circle)) = \pi{r}^(2)}}


\implies{\sf{225\pi= \pi{r}^(2)}}


\implies{\sf{225 * (22)/(7) = (22)/(7) * {r}^(2)}}


\implies{\sf{225 * \cancel{(22)/(7)} = \cancel{(22)/(7)} * {r}^(2)}}


\implies{\sf{225={r}^(2)}}


\implies{\sf{{r}^(2) = 225}}


\implies{\sf{r= √(225)}}


\implies{\sf{r= √(3 * 3 * 5 * 5)}}


\implies{\sf{r= \sqrt{ \underline{3 * 3} * \underline{5 * 5}}}}


\implies{\sf{r= {3 * 5}}}


\implies{\sf{r=15\:unit}}


\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{Radius=15\:unit}}}}}

Hence, the radius of circle is 15 unit.


\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

Now, finding the diameter of circle by substituting the values in the formula :


\implies{\sf{Diameter = 2 * Radius}}


\implies{\sf{Diameter = 2 * 15}}


\implies{\sf{Diameter= 30 \: unit}}


\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{Diameter=30\:unit}}}}}

Hence, the diameter of circle is 30 unit.
