the area of larger circle A is 16 times greater than smaller circle B. The radius of larger circle A will be how many times greater than that of smaller circle B?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "16 times greater = 17 times the area.
\n" ); document.write( "--> radius of A is \"sqrt%2817%29\" times the radius of B
\n" ); document.write( "= \"sqrt%2817%29+-+1\" times greater
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
\n" ); document.write( "times as great is not the same as \"times greater\"
\n" ); document.write( "1 time greater is a 100% increase, not the same size.
\n" ); document.write( "People who write problems should get it right, but the world is full of morons.
\n" ); document.write( "............
\n" ); document.write( "You see \"10 times smaller...\" That makes no sense. 1 time smaller is zero, how can something be 10 times smaller, or 10 times closer?
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
