Two small circular parks of diameter 16 meter and 12 meter are to be replaced by a bigger circular park. What would be the radius of this new park, if the new park has to occupy the same space as the two small parks?
A
20 meter
B
15 meter
C
10 meter
D
100 meter
Correct Answer: 10 meter
We know,Area of circle, A = πr² diameter of first circle = 16m ∴ radius = 16 2m = 8m ∴ Area of first circle, A₁ = π x 8²= π x 64 = 201m² diameter of second circle = 12m ∴ radius = 12 2m = 6m Area of second circle, A₂ = π x 6²= π x 36 = 113m²Sum of two circle, 201m² + 113m² = 314m²According to question, Large Circle:314= πr²r² = 314 πr² =314 3.14 [∵ π = 3.14]r² = 100r = √100r = 10m
