The sum of the two areas of two circles is the 80x square meters. Find the length of a radius of each circle of them is twice as long as the other. What is the radius of the larger circle?

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]r = 4m[/tex] --- small circle

[tex]R =8m[/tex] --- big circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Area = 80\pi\ m^2[/tex] -- sum of areas

[tex]R = 2r[/tex]

Required

The radius of the larger circle

Area is calculated as;

[tex]Area = \pi r^2[/tex]

For the smaller circle, we have:

[tex]A_1 = \pi r^2[/tex]

For the big, we have

[tex]A_2 = \pi R^2[/tex]

The sum of both is:

[tex]Area = A_1 + A_2[/tex]

[tex]Area = \pi r^2 + \pi R^2[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]R = 2r[/tex]

[tex]Area = \pi r^2 + \pi (2r)^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = \pi r^2 + \pi *4r^2[/tex]

Substitute [tex]Area = 80\pi\ m^2[/tex]

[tex]80\pi = \pi r^2 + \pi *4r^2[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]80\pi = \pi[ r^2 + 4r^2][/tex]

[tex]80\pi = \pi[ 5r^2][/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]\pi[/tex]

[tex]80 = 5r^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]16 = r^2[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]4 = r[/tex]

[tex]r = 4m[/tex]

The radius of the larger circle is:

[tex]R = 2r[/tex]

[tex]R =2 * 4[/tex]

[tex]R =8m[/tex]
