Question Number 4496 by FilupSmith last updated on 01/Feb/16

This is a simple question but for some  silly reason I can′t figure it out...    1.  If I have a circle with radius r and  area A, and I wish to make a new circle with  n times the area, for what new value  of r should be used?    2.  What if I increase the area from A to  A+n? What value of r would be used here?

A_1 =πr_1 ^2 =nA=nπr^2 ⇒r_1 =r(√n)  A_1 =πr_1 ^2 =A+n=πr^2 +n⇒r_1 =(√(r^2 +(n/π)))

$${A}_{\mathrm{1}} =\pi{r}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{2}} ={nA}={n}\pi{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow{r}_{\mathrm{1}} ={r}\sqrt{{n}} \\ $$$${A}_{\mathrm{1}} =\pi{r}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{2}} ={A}+{n}=\pi{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{n}\Rightarrow{r}_{\mathrm{1}} =\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{{n}}{\pi}} \\ $$
