let r=radius __ (pi)(r^2)+100=(pi)((r+3)^2)
dividing by pi and FOILing __ r^2+(100/pi)=r^2+6r+9 __ subtracting r^2+9 __ (100/pi)-9=6r
dividing by 6 __ (100/(6*pi))-(3/2)=r
Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
pi*r^2=A original
pi*(r+3)^2=A+100 new
pi(r^2+6r+9)=A+100
pi(r^2+6r+9)-100=A
pi(r^2+6r+9)-100=pi*r^2
r^2+6r+9-(100/pi)=r^2
6r+9-31.83=0
6r=22.83
r=3.81"
.
Check:
pi*3.81^2=45.49
pi*6.81^2=145.49
