The diameter of Christy's pool is 4 times larger than the other .-.

How to find the relation between the radius of each pool?

We know that for a circle of radius R the area is given by:

A = π*R^2

Let's say that:

  • R is the radius of Christy's pool
  • R' is the radius of Emily's pool.

Then we have the corresponding areas.

  • A = π*R^2
  • A' = π*R'^2

We know that:

A = 16*A'

Replacing the equations, we get:

π*R^2 = 16*(π*R'^2)

R^2 = 16*R'^2

If we apply the square root in both sides, we get:

√R^2 = √(16*R'^2)

R = 4*R'

This means that the radius of Christy's pool is 4 times larger than the one of Emily's pool.

And the same is for the diameter (twice the radius).

D = 2*R

D' = 2*R'

Then:

D = 2*R = 2*(4*R') = 4*(2*R') = 4*D'

The diameter of Christy's pool is 4 times larger than the other diameter.
