Question 1134853: Imagine you are planning to use circles to visually compare the populations of California (38,800,000), Texas (28,240,245), and New York (19,807,500). The size of each population will be represented by the area of each circle, not the radius.
What should the area and radius be for the circle representing the population of Texas? Please answer in cm^2

Not enough information.

If we knew the radius or area of one of the circles, we could determine the radii and areas of the other two. But with just the given information, the radius and area of the circle representing the population of Texas could be anything.
