Find the ratio of the circumferences of two circles whose radii are in the ratio 4:5.
║⊕ANSWER⊕║
Let radius of circles be x
Radius of first circle= 4x
Radius of second circle= 5x
Circumference of circle= 2πr
Circumference of first circle= 2×π×4x
Circumference of second circle= 2×π×5x
Ratio of the circumferences= Circumference of first circle/Circumference of second circle
= 2×π×4x/2×π×5x
= 4x/5x
= 4/5
= 4:5
∴The required ratio is 4:5
Let radius of circles = x
We will take a radius first , as it is necessary for us to know radius first .
Radius of first circle= 4x
Radius of second circle= 5x
As we all know ,
Circumference of circle= 2πr
Circumference of first circle= 2×π×4x
Circumference of second circle= 2×π×5x
Ratio of the circumferences= Circumference of first circle/Circumference of second circle
= 2×π×4x/2×π×5x
= 4x/5x
= 4/5
= 4:5 ✓
