The radius of a circle is multiplied by 2. Its area is _____ times bigger than the original circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How'd you find that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula \[pir ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (experimentx):

because area is 2*pi*r^2 ... if you increase r by 2 times then (2r)^2 = 4r^2 ... so increased by 4 times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now put 2r in the place of r, and u will find the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can also look at an example.... what is the area of a circle radius 1? what is the area of a circle radius 2? (double)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually the area will be 4 times, but it will be 3 times greater than the previous circle
