$\"circumference=2pi%2Aradius\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If the circumferences are in a 6:1 ratio,
\n" ); document.write( "the radii are in a 6:1 ratio.
\n" ); document.write( "That means that the radius of the larger circle is 6 times the radius of the small one.
\n" ); document.write( "Let us call the small circle's radius $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Then the large circle's radius is $\"6x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "and the difference between the radii is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6x-x=10ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=10ft%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=10ft%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=highlight%282ft%29\"$ is the radius of the small circle , and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2ft%2B10ft=highlight%2812ft%29\"$ is the radius of the large circle.
