Consider two circles, a smaller one and a larger one. If the larger one has a radius that is 6 feet larger than that of the smaller circle and the ratio of the circumferences is 4 colon 1, what are the radii of the two circles?
----------------------------
Larger Circle DATA::
radius = x+6 ; circumference = 2pi(x+6)
------
Smaller Circle DATA:
radius = x ; circumference = 2pi*x
--------
Equation:
(2pi(x+6)/2pi*x) = 4/1
---------------------------
8pi*x = 2pi(x+6)
-------
4x = x+6
3x = 6
x = 2 (radius of smaller circle)
x+6 = 8 (radius of larger circle)
====================================
