The radius of circle A is r, and the radius of circle B is 3/4r. What is the ratio of the area of circle A to the area of circle B?
A
16 to 9
B
9 to 16
C
1 to 4
D
4 to 3
Correct Answer: 16 to 9
area of circle A is = πr2area of circle B is = π(3r4)2 = 916πr2ratio of area of circle A to circle B = πr2916πr2 = πr2 ×169πr2 = 16/9 or 16 to 9 (Ans)
