he area of the shaded region represents one-third of the total, What is the size of the radii such that this is possible? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The radius of the whole circle is 12cm while the shaded region is a ring in the middle with a small not shaded circle in the middle.
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Find 1/3 of the area of the whole circle
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\"*\"pi%2A12%5E2+=+150.796\"
\n" ); document.write( "let R = radius to the outer ring
\n" ); document.write( "let r = radius to the inner ring
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28pi%2AR%5E2%29+-+%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29+=+150.796\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%28R%5E2+-+r%5E2%29+=+150.796\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by pi
\n" ); document.write( "\"R%5E2+-+r%5E2+=+48\"
\n" ); document.write( "graph this equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"R+=+sqrt%2848%2Br%5E2%29\" Where R is on the y axis, r is on the x axis
\n" ); document.write( "first integer solution
\n" ); document.write( "R = 8, r = 4
\n" ); document.write( "see if that works
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28pi%2A8%5E2%29+-+%28pi%2A4%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "201.062 - 50.265 = 150.797
\n" ); document.write( "The radii of 8 and 4 make this possible
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
