The area of the larger circle is 36 Pi in2 Find the circumference of one of the smaller circles. There are two smaller circles inside the larger circle.
***
assume diameter of smaller circles=1/2 that of the larger circle
πr^2=area
πr^2=36π
r^2=36
r=6 (radius of larger circle)
..
r/2=3=radius of smaller circle
circumference of smaller circle=2π*radius=2π*3=6π=18.85in
