If the ratio of the area of circle A to the area of circle B is 2:1, then how many times larger is the circumference of circle A than the circumference of circle B?

Asked by Alba

Answer (2)

area A / area B = 2 / 1; => radius A / radius B = 2 ​ ;
circumference of circle A / circumfereance of circle B = radius A / radius B = 2 ​ => 2 ​ ≈1.41;

The circumference of circle A is approximately 1.41 times larger than that of circle B because the radius of circle A is 2 ​ times the radius of circle B due to the area ratio of 2:1. As a result, the ratio of their circumferences is also 2 ​ .
