The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the diameters of two circles given that their diameters are in the ratio of 3:4, and the sum of their areas equals the area of a circle with a diameter of 30 m. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Diameters**: Let the diameters of the two circles be \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \). According to the problem, the ratio of the diameters is given as: \[ \frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{3}{4} \] This can be expressed as: \[ d_1 = \frac{3}{4} d_2 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. **Calculate the Area of the Circle with Diameter 30 m**: The area \( A \) of a circle is given by the formula: \[ A = \frac{\pi}{4} d^2 \] For a circle with a diameter of 30 m, the area is: \[ A = \frac{\pi}{4} (30)^2 = \frac{\pi}{4} \times 900 = 225\pi \quad \text{(Area of the circle with diameter 30 m)} \] 3. **Express the Areas of the Two Circles**: The areas \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \) of the two circles with diameters \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) can be expressed as: \[ A_1 = \frac{\pi}{4} d_1^2 \] \[ A_2 = \frac{\pi}{4} d_2^2 \] The sum of the areas is: \[ A_1 + A_2 = \frac{\pi}{4} d_1^2 + \frac{\pi}{4} d_2^2 = \frac{\pi}{4} (d_1^2 + d_2^2) \] 4. **Set Up the Equation**: According to the problem, the sum of the areas of the two circles equals the area of the circle with a diameter of 30 m: \[ \frac{\pi}{4} (d_1^2 + d_2^2) = 225\pi \] Dividing both sides by \( \pi \) and \( \frac{1}{4} \): \[ d_1^2 + d_2^2 = 900 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 5. **Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2**: Substitute \( d_1 = \frac{3}{4} d_2 \) into Equation 2: \[ \left(\frac{3}{4} d_2\right)^2 + d_2^2 = 900 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \frac{9}{16} d_2^2 + d_2^2 = 900 \] \[ \frac{9}{16} d_2^2 + \frac{16}{16} d_2^2 = 900 \] \[ \frac{25}{16} d_2^2 = 900 \] 6. **Solve for \( d_2^2 \)**: Multiply both sides by \( \frac{16}{25} \): \[ d_2^2 = 900 \times \frac{16}{25} \] \[ d_2^2 = 576 \] Taking the square root: \[ d_2 = 24 \text{ m} \] 7. **Find \( d_1 \)**: Substitute \( d_2 = 24 \) m back into Equation 1: \[ d_1 = \frac{3}{4} \times 24 = 18 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer: The diameters of the two circles are: - \( d_1 = 18 \text{ m} \) - \( d_2 = 24 \text{ m} \)
