This is a simple question. If a cookie that is 2 inches is $.20

anonymous · Answer

6 inches is 3 times more than 2

anonymous · Answer

Basically, you're going to get your .20 and multiply it by 3

anonymous · Answer

This gets you A, or .60

Let's think a little more about this......

radar · Answer

If the radius went from 1 for the small cookie to 3 for the large cookie and we are dealing with increase in Area,   Since area is dependent on r^2 how much has the area increased.

radar · Answer

I am thinking more like a $1.80

anonymous · Answer

no i was thinking 1.50

radar · Answer

Since the radius tripled, the area would be increased by 3 squared or nine.

radar · Answer

Note you don't have to calculate the actual area, just deal with the radius increase and the fact A=pi*r^2.

radar · Answer

Think some more.

radar · Answer

As I said think some more before you close a question lol.
