MEDAL TO CHECK:
MY CHOICE: B
The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A. If the radius of circle B is 12 feet, what is the radius of circle A?
A.2 feet
B.4 feet
C.6 feet
D.36 feet

Find the area of circle B.
OpenStudy (igreen):
\(\sf A = \pi r^2\)
\(\sf A = (3.14) (12)^2\)

i meant c btw
OpenStudy (igreen):
C is wrong.

i am but i put down the wrong answer orginally wanted to clear it up anyways 452.16
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yep, now divide it by 36 to get the area for circle A.
OpenStudy (igreen):
'Cause circle B's area is 36 times the area of circle A.
OpenStudy (lexi724):
12.56
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yep, now plug it into the formula to find the area of a circle.
\(\sf A = \pi r^2\)
Plug in what we know:
\(\sf 12.56 = (3.14) r^2\)
Divide 3.14 to both sides, what's 12.56 / 3.14?

Square root of 4*
OpenStudy (igreen):
Lol..yes, that's our answer.
OpenStudy (igreen):
\(\sf 4 = r^2\)
\(\sf r = \sqrt{4}\)
\(\sf r = 2\)
