the radii of the two circles are 4cm and 3cm. find the radius of the circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles. also find the circumference
of its circle.
Let R=4cm & r=3cm Let the required radius be R'
Area of the circle with radius R = piR2
=pi[4]2
=16pi cm2
Area of the circle with radius r = pir2
=pi[3]2
=9pi cm2
Therefore the area of the circlr with radius R' = area of circles with radius r + area of circle with radius R
piR' 2 =16pi + 9pi
pi R' 2= pi [16+9]
{ pi gets cancelled }
R'2 =25 R' = 5cm
Therefore the new radius is 5cm
Circumference=2piR'
=2 x 22/7 x 5
=31.42 cm [aprox]
