SOLUTION: Consider two circles, a smaller one and a larger one. If the larger one has a radius that is 10 feet larger than that of the smaller circle and the ratio of the circumferences is

Question 1107785: Consider two circles, a smaller one and a larger one. If the larger one has a radius that is 10 feet larger than that of the smaller circle and the ratio of the circumferences is 6 colon 1, what are the radii of the two circles?
Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

If the circumferences are in a 6:1 ratio,
the radii are in a 6:1 ratio.
That means that the radius of the larger circle is 6 times the radius of the small one.
Let us call the small circle's radius .
Then the large circle's radius is ,
and the difference between the radii is

is the radius of the small circle , and
is the radius of the large circle.
