Question 15

It is proposed to build a new circular park equal in area to the sum of areas of two circular

parks of diameters 16 m and 12 m in a locality. The radius of the new park is

(a) 10m 

(b) 15m 

(c) 20m 

(d) 24m

Explanation : 

we first need to calculate the areas of the two circular parks with diameters of 16 m and 12 m, respectively.Then, we can find the sum of these areas.

Let's calculate

$$Areaofthecircularparkwithdiameter16m=\pi \times \frac{{16}^2}{2^2}=\pi \times 8^2{m}^2$$

$$Areaofthecircularparkwithdiameter12m=\pi \times \frac{{12}^2}{2^2}=\pi \times 6^2{m}^2$$

$$Now,wefindtheTotalArea=\pi \times 64+\pi \times 36=100\pi m^2$$

To find the radius of the new park with an area equal to 100𝜋m^2 , we use the formula for the area of a circle

 => Total area = 𝜋 r^2 

=> 100𝜋 = 𝜋r^2

=> Or r^2 = 100

=> Or r = 10 m

The diagram below will appear if we take into consideration circles with diameters of 16 m for r1 and 12 m for r2.
