two circles have the same center, but one circle has a radius 6 cm greater than the other.
\n" ); document.write( " The area of the inner circle is 221 cm2 less than the outer circle.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the radius of the smaller circle in centimeters?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let = the radius of the smaller circle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(r+6) = the radius of the larger
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "large area - small area = 221 sq?cm
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A%28r%2B6%29%5E2\" - \"pi%2Ar%5E2\" = 221
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL (r+6)(r+6)
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A%28r%5E2+%2B+12r+%2B+36%29+-+pi%28r%5E2%29+\" = 221
\n" ); document.write( "divide equation by pi
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 + 12r + 36 - r^2 = 70.3465
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 drops out
\n" ); document.write( "12r + 36 = 70.3465
\n" ); document.write( "12r = 70.3465 - 36
\n" ); document.write( "12r = 34.3465
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"34.3465%2F12\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 2.86 cm is the radius of the smaller circle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find actual area of each (larger radius = 8.86)
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A8.86%5E2\" = 246.61
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A2.86%5E2\" = 25.70
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
