The area of a circle is given by the formula A=piR^2 where r is the radius. If increasing the radius of a circle by 1 inch gives the resulting circle an area of 100 times pi square inches, what is the radius of the original circle
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Increased Area = pi(R+1)^2 = pi(R^2+2R+1) = piR^2 + pi(2R+1)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2R+1 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "2R = 99
\n" ); document.write( "R = 49.5 (original radius)
