Thanks! And it's actually said spelled as 'pi'. :)
I think most of the students suggest this!!!!
i miscomputed......
In smaller circle its diameter is a ( the side of squre).in bigger circle diameter is a*root2. from hypotanous of squre..so area is 2 times.
He will the diametre of. Big circle is root 2*
Log in to reply
the diagonal of the square = diameter of outer circle....And diagonal of square = sq.root(2) * side
ya this is a simple and straight forward explanation
Yeah it's right
phi r2/ phi r/root2 ka square=2
Its tricky to me
Couldn't compute properly
Let S be the side of the square. Then the radius of small circle is r = 2 S , and the radius of big circle is R = ( 2 S ) 2 + ( 2 S ) 2 = S 2 1 . Then the ratio of their area is: A r e a s m a l l A r e a b i g = π r 2 π R 2 = ( r R ) 2 = ⎝ ⎛ ( 2 S ) S 2 1 ⎠ ⎞ 2 = ( 2 2 1 ) 2 = 4 ( 2 1 ) = 2
The bigger circle is directer circle to the smatller one that's it has radical2 times radius so area is double
Let 1 be the diameter of the bigger circle, that is also the diagonal of the square which is a hypotenuse of a right triangle. By pythagorean theorem, the side length of the square is 2 1 which is also the diameter of the smaller circle. By similar polygons, the ratio of the area of the bigger circle to the area of the smaller circle is
( 2 1 ) 2 1 2 = 2 1 1 = 2
this is very easy any math reader can solve it ..
The Diameter of the: big Circle is s_/2
Small Circle is s
where in, s is the side of the Square
The ratio of the area will be:
[(s_/2)/2]^2 pi : (s^2) pi
2:1
Giving us, 2...
Larger circle area = pi r^2. Radius of smaller circle is r/sqrt(2) hence its area is (pi r^2)/2. Area of bigger circle/area of smaller circle =2.

Let the side of the square be x then its diagonal will be root 2 * x which will be the diameter of the circumcircle and similarly the the diameter of the incircle will be x and hence ratio will be
pie * (root 2 x) (root 2* x)/ pie (x) (x)
which will give u 2
