Question 80986
if the radius of circle A is twice the length of the radius of Circle B, does that mean that circle A has twice the area of circle B? Explain whiy or why not.
-------------
Let the 1st circle have radius = x ; its area is (pi)x^2
Then the 2nd circle will have radius = 2x ; 
its are will be (pi)(2x)^2 =(pi)4x^2 = 4[(pi)x^2]
----------
Conclusion: The 2nd circle will have 4 times the area of the 1st circle.
