Question -

The radii of twocircles are 8 cm and 6 cm, respectively. Find the radius of the circle havingarea equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.



Answer -

Radius of 1st circle = 8 cm(given)

Area of 1st circle = π(8)2 =64π

Radius of 2nd circle = 6 cm(given)

Area of 2nd circle = π(6)2 =36π

So,

The sum of 1st and 2nd circlewill be = 64π+36π = 100π

Now, assume that the radius of 3rd circle= R

Area of the circle 3rd circle = πR2

It is given that the area of the circle 3rd circle= Area of 1st circle + Area of 2nd circle

Or, πR2 = 100πcm2

R2 = 100cm2

So, R = 10cm
