If the radius of a circle is increased by 25%, its area increases by:1). 50 percent2). 25 percent3). 28.125 percent4). 56.25 percent |

Answer» LET the radius of the circle be X cm. So, area = πx2 cm2. The radius of a circle is increased by 25%. So, the increased radius = x × (125/100) = 5x/4 cm Now, area = π × (5x/4)2 cm2 = 25πx2/16 cm2 So, INCREASE in area = (25πx2/16) – πx2 = 9πx2/16 cm2 ∴ The required percentage change = [{(9πx2/16)/πx2} × 100% = 56.25% |
