Question 319611: A large circle has 81 times the area of a small circle. If the radius of the large circle is 45 inches, what is the radius of the small circle? (Think, how many times greater is the radius of a large circle whose area is 81 times larger than a smaller circle?) Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If areas are in the ratio 81:1, the lengths are in the ratio 9:1, so the radius is 45/9 or 5 inches
