What happens to the area of the circle if its radius is doubled?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is similar to your previous question. You can try it yourself. Take radius as x and 2x. And apply the formula and take ratio.

OpenStudy (zepp):

Like I said earlier, radius is the length IF \(k\) is doubled, \(2k\) would be your new length. Area would become \((2k)^2=4k^2\)

OpenStudy (zepp):

Now you can compare it would your old area, which is \(k^2\) \(4k^2 \div k^2= ~?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean to say that area also gets doubled?

OpenStudy (zepp):

Re-read my post above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (zepp):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (zepp):
