Problema Solution
The difference between the areas of two circles is 2300 square inches. The difference between their radii is 10 inches. Find the radius of each circle.
Answer provided by our tutors
Suppose the radii of two circles are r1 and r2 in inches
now area of circle= (pi)*r^2
in the problem
pi(r1^2 - r2^2)=2300 --------------------------1
and r1-r2=10---------------------------------------2
now in equation 1
pi(r1+r2)(r1-r2)=2300
pi(r1+r2)*10=2300
r1+r2=230/pi-------------------------------------3
now add equation 2 and 3
r1-r2=10
r1+r2=230/pi
2r1=10+230/pi
r1=5+230/pi
substitute pi=22/7
r1= 5 + (230*7)/22
r1=(110 +1610)/22
r1=1720/22
r1=78.2
thus r2=78.2-10
r2=68.2
final answer
r1=78.2 inches
r2=68.2 inches
