Question

If diameter of a circle is twice as large as the diameter of a smaller circle, What

is the ratio of area of larger circle to area of smaller circle?

Answer 1

The area of a circle uses the radius of a circle, which is 1/2 the diameter.

In the calculation the radius is squared.

Since the diameter of the larger circle is twice as large the radius would be 2 times.

2 squared would be: 2^2 = 4

This means the area of the larger circle is 4 times larger which would make the ratio 4:1
