Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the radius of a circle is tripled, how does the area change? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand the formula for the area of a circle, which is Area = πr².
  • Step 2: Identify the original radius of the circle as 'r'.
  • Step 3: If the radius is tripled, the new radius becomes '3r'.
  • Step 4: Substitute the new radius into the area formula: Area = π(3r)².
  • Step 5: Calculate (3r)², which equals 9r².
  • Step 6: Now, substitute this back into the area formula: Area = π(9r²).
  • Step 7: This simplifies to Area = 9πr².
  • Step 8: Compare the new area (9πr²) to the original area (πr²).
  • Step 9: Conclude that the new area is 9 times the original area.
