Question 807490: In the figure below, the circle centered at
B
is internally tangent to the circle centered
at
A
. The smaller circle passes through the center of the larger circle and the length
of
AB
is 5 units. If the smaller circle is cut out of the larger circle, how much of the
area, in square units, of the larger circle will remain? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Since the small circle is internally tangent to the larger one, the distance from B to the the larger circle has to be equal to the distance between the two circle centers. Hence the radius of B is 5 and the radius of A is 10.
