The circumference of the two circles is 77 cm and 154 cm respectively. What is the difference between their radii? |
15 cm 13.25 cm 12.25 cm 16 cm |
12.25 cm |
Let the radius of the first circle be r1 and radius of second circle r2. Then, we have 2\(\Pi \)r1 = 77 ..(1) 2\(\Pi \)r2 = 154 ..(2) Dividing equation (2) by (1), \(\frac{r2}{r1}\) = \(\frac{154}{77}\) \(\frac{r2}{r1}\) = 2 r2 = 2r1 Now, the difference between their radiiis r2 - r1 = 2r1 - r1 = r1 From equation (1), we have 2\(\Pi \)r1 = 77 r1 = \(\frac{77}{2(3.14)}\) r1 = 12.25 cm (approx) Therefore, the difference between their radii is 12.25 cm. |
