(b) The sum of the radius of Circle A and the radius of Circle C
The area of a circle is . Give its radius in terms of
.
(Assume is positive.)
If the diameter of a circle is equal to , then what is the value of the radius?
Compare the two quantities:
Quantity A: The radius of a circle with area of
Quantity B: The radius of a circle with circumference of
The areas of five circles form an arithmetic sequence. The smallest circle has radius 4; the second smallest circle has radius 8. Give the radius of the largest circle.
Compare the two quantities:
Quantity A: The radius of a circle with area of
Quantity B: The radius of a circle with circumference of
