Let the radius of 2 circles be r1 and r2

Sum of area = 116 pi

pi(r1)2 + pi(r2)2 = 116*pi

i.e. (r1)2 + (r2)2 = 116

 

Also, r1 - r2 = 6 

r1 = 6+r2

Substituting it back in the above equation

 

(6+r2)2 + (r2)2 = 116

2(r2)2 + 12r2 + 36 = 116

2(r2)2 + 12r2 -80 = 0

(r2)2 + 6r2 - 40 = 0

(r2+10) (r2 - 4) = 0

r2 = -10 or r2 = 4

Since, radius of a circle can't be negative, hence, r2 = 4cm and r1 = 10 cm
