Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumferences of the ring are 22 cm and 44 cm, respectively. The width of the ring is:(Take $\pi =\frac{22}{7}$) |
3.5 cm 1.5 cm 2.5 cm 3 cm |
3.5 cm |
As the circumference of the inner circle = 22 cm And of the outer circle = 44 cm We know that, Circumference of a circle = 2πR Where R = Radius of the given circle, where π = \(\frac{22}{7}\) So, Let Us assume that the radius of the bigger circle be R unit And the radius of the smaller circle be r unit By using the above formula = Circumference of the inner circle is 2× π × r = 22 = Circumference of the outer circle is 2× π × R = 44 = 2× \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r = 22 = 2× \(\frac{22}{7}\) × R = 44 = r = 3.5 cm R = 7cm So, The width of the ring is R – r = 7 – 3.5 = 3.5 cm |
