Inverse Proportion

The area of a circle is calculated using the following formula:

where r represents the radius.

Using the formula, we calculate the areas of the circles:

Circle 1:

π*4² =

π16

Circle 2:

π*10² =

π100

To calculate how much larger one circle is than the other (in other words - what is the ratio between them)

All we need to do is divide one area by the other.

100/16 =

6.25

Therefore the answer is 6 and a quarter!

Let's find side BC

Based on what we're given:

$\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{x}{BC}=\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}$

$\frac{x}{BC}=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\sqrt{2}x=\sqrt{x}BC$

Let's divide by square root x:

$\frac{\sqrt{2}\times x}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

Let's reduce the numerator and denominator by square root x:

$\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x}=BC$

We'll use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the area of triangle ABC:

$AB^2+BC^2=AC^2$

Let's substitute what we're given:

$x^2+(\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x})^2=m^2$

$x^2+2x=m^2$

We know that:

$\frac{AB}{BC}=\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}$

We also know that AB equals X.

First, we will substitute the given data into the formula accordingly:

$\frac{x}{BC}=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$x\sqrt{2}=BC\sqrt{x}$

$\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

$\frac{\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

$\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{2}=BC$

Now let's look at triangle ABC and use the Pythagorean theorem:

$AB^2+BC^2=AC^2$

We substitute in our known values:

$x^2+(\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{2})^2=m^2$

$x^2+x\times2=m^2$

Finally, we will add 1 to both sides:

$x^2+2x+1=m^2+1$

$(x+1)^2=m^2+1$
