Let's assume that the green circle has a circumference of 20 meters. The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = 2πr

where C is the circumference, π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14, and r is the radius of the circle.

To find the radius of the green circle, we can rearrange the formula as:

r = C/2π

Plugging in the given circumference of 20 meters, we get:

r = 20/(2π) ≈ 3.18 meters

Therefore, the green circle has a radius of about 3.18 meters.

To find the circumference of the blue circle, we can use the same formula:

C = 2πr

but with a different value of the radius. Let's assume that the blue circle has a radius of 5 meters. Then, its circumference would be:

C = 2π(5) = 10π ≈ 31.42 meters

Rounding this value to the nearest hundredth, we get a circumference of about 31.42 meters. Therefore, the circumference of the blue circle is about 31.42 meters.
