Answer:

Circumference = 75.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the circles are identical, that means that the radii must be equal.

4x=3x+3

x=3

That means that radius = 12

The formula for the circumference = 2pi × radius

2pi × 12 = 24pi ≈ 75.4

Answer:

75.4 (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of a circle is the distance from one side of the circle to the other through the center. The diameter is the widest part of the circle.

The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to the circumference.  The radius is half the diameter of a circle.

We have been given the radius of the circle on the left:  r = 4x.

Therefore, as the diameter is twice the radius, the diameter of the circle on the left is:  d = 2(4x) = 8x

We have been given the diameter of the circle on the right:  d = 6x + 6

Equate the two diameters and solve for x:

⇒ 8x = 6x + 6

⇒ 8x - 6x = 6x + 6 - 6x

⇒ 2x = 6

⇒ 2x ÷ 2 = 6 ÷ 2

⇒ x = 3

Substitute the found value of x into one of the diameter expressions to find the diameter of both circles:

⇒ d = 8x

⇒ d = 8(3)

⇒ d = 24

Circumference of a circle

C = πd

(where d is the diameter)

Substitute the found diameter into the circumference formula:

⇒ C = πd

⇒ C = 24π

⇒ C = 75.39822...

⇒ C = 75.4 (nearest tenth)

Therefore, the circumference of each circle is 75.4 units (nearest tenth).
