at the centre of two circles two arcs of equal length substends at an angle of 30 and 60 respectively what is the ratio of area of two circles
Answers
4 Area of small circle = Area of big circle
MEANS RATIO IS 1:4
Step-by-step explanation:
As the arch of equal length substend angles in the ratio
= 1:2
So we can say
360 ÷ 30 = 12 arcs make circumference of first circle
and
360 ÷ 60 = 6 arcs make circumference of second circle
This means the circumstances are in the ratio 2:1
Let circumference of small circle be X
circumference =
X = 2 ×pi × RS.......RS-radius small circle
and circumference of big circle will be
2X = 2 ×pi × RB.......RB-radius BIG circle
So
2 × pi × RB = 2 ( 2 × pi × RS )
= 4 × pi × RS
RB = 2 RS......................(1)
AREA = pi r square
Area of big circle = AB = pi RB ^2
Substituting from ( 1 ) we get
= pi (2RS)^2
= 4 pi RS^2............(2)
Area of small circle = AS = pi RS ^2...........(3)
from (2) and (3)
we get
4 Area of small circle = Area of big circle
MEANS RATIO IS 1:4
