Radius ob measures x units. which expression represents the circumference of the smaller circle with radius oa? (startfraction pi over 3 endfraction)x units (startfraction 2 pi over 3 endfraction)x units 2πx units 6πx units

Sagot :

The circumference of the smaller circle is C =  2*pi*x/3.

We have given that radius ob measures x units

What is the formula for the circumference of the circle ?

circumference of the circle is given by,

[tex]C = 2\times \pi \times R[/tex]

where pi = 3.14

R= radius

we have two circles, A and B, where B is the larger circle and A is the smaller circle.

We know that,The circumference of B is 3 times the circumference of A.

The radius of circle B is OB = x

The radius of circle A is OA

We want to find an expression of OA.

The circumference of circle B is given by

[tex]C(B) = 2\times \piOB = 2\times pi\times x[/tex]

The circumference of circle A  is given by

[tex]C(A) = 2\times\pi\times OA[/tex]

we know that the circumference of circle B is 3 times the circumference of circle A,

[tex]C(B) = 3\times C(A)[/tex]

replacing the equations for the circumferences

[tex]2\times\pi\times x = 3\times (2\times pi\times OA)[/tex]

We have divide both sides by [tex]2\pi[/tex]we get:

[tex]x = 3\times OA[/tex]

Now we want to solve this for OA, then we need to isolate it,

[tex]x/3 = OA[/tex]

We can conclude that the radius of the smaller circle is equal to x/3.

Then the circumference of circle A is

[tex]C(A) = 2\times pi\times x/3[/tex]
