If the circumference of a circle is increased by 11\(\frac{1}{9}\)%, then find the percentage increase in its area? - |
11\(\frac{1}{9}\)% increase 23.45% increase 25% increase no change |
23.45% increase |
Let radius be r- Radius Circumference Area r 2 \(\pi\)r \(\pi\)r² ↓ (changed values percentage change) ↓ \(\frac{10}{9}\) 2 \(\pi\)r \(\frac{10}{9}\)r (the change in circumference is directly proportional to radius change) Area = \(\pi\)( \(\frac{10}{9}\)r)² = \(\pi\)( \(\frac{100}{81}\)r²) = 23.45% increase |
