Question

the radii of two circle are in the ratio of 2:3.What is the ratio of their circumference

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let r , R are radii of two circles ,

ratio of radii = 2 : 3

r /R = 2 / 3

ratio of their circumference = ( 2πr ) / ( 2πR )

= r / R

= 2 / 3

= 2 : 3

I hope this helps you.

:)

Answer 2

Hi there !

_______________________

Let the radius of two circle be 2x and 3x respectively.

Now,

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Circumference of first circle

= 2 × π × 2x

= 4$x$ x π

Circumference of second circle

= 2 × π × 3x

= 6$x$ x π

Ratio of Circumference of two circles ;

$\frac{4 \cancel{x }\times \cancel\pi}{6 \cancel{x} \times \cancel\pi} \\ \\ \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} = 2 : 3$

Hence, ratio of their Circumferences is 2 : 3.
