Question 288049: If a small circle's diameter is a large circle's radius, then the small
circle is ____% of the large circle's area?
a) 20 b) 25 c) 30 d) 40 e) 50 Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
The green line is the small circle's diameter and also the
large circle's radius. Suppose the green line is 2 inches long.
Then the small circle's radius is 1, the red line:
Area of small circle =
Area of large circle =
Since the big circle's area is 4 times the small circle's area,
the small circle's area is of the big circle's area
and is the same as 25%. So the correct choice is b)
