You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you have to compare the ratios of the area OR the ratio of the squares of the radius.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12\" dia = 6\" radius
\n" ); document.write( "8\" diameter = 4\" radius
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "r^2= 36
\n" ); document.write( "r^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Ratio = 36/16
\n" ); document.write( "=2.25 times
\n" ); document.write( "OPTION B
\n" ); document.write( "
