Answer:

The answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio first find the diameter of the larger circle

Diameter of first circle = 6 inches

Diameter of second circle = 4 × diameter of the first circle

Which is

Diameter of second circle

= 4 × 6 = 24 inches

Area of a circle = πr²

r is the radius

Area of smaller circle

Diameter = 6 inches

Radius = 6 / 2 = 3 inches

Area = (3)² π = 9π in²

Area of larger circle

Diameter = 24 inches

Radius = 24 / 2 = 12 inches

Area = (12)²π = 144π in²

The ratio of the smaller circle to the larger circle is

[tex] \frac{9\pi}{144\pi} [/tex]

Reduce the fraction by 9π

That's

[tex] \frac{1}{16} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

1 : 16

Hope this helps you

Answer:

C. 1:16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is:

[tex]\pi \times {r}^{2} [/tex]

Small circle Area:

radius = diameter/2

radius = 6/2 = 3

[tex]area \: of \: a \: circle \: = \pi {3}^{2} [/tex]

a = 28.27

Large circle 4 times larger diameter

6*4 = 24

diameter = 24

r = 24/2

r = 12

[tex]a \: = \pi {12}^{2} [/tex]

a = 452.39

area of large circle/ area of small circle

452.39/28.27 = 16.00

ratio is 1:16
