I need help soon please! Im clueless!!! Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let d = the diameter of the smaller circle
Then the larger circle has diameter =
The area of a circle =
So the area of the smaller circle =
And the area of the larger circle =
When we take the ratio, we are left with (3/2)^2 = 9/4
Ans: D.
