The circumference of circle 1 is 16 units. The circumference of circle 2 is 6 units.
Which of these statements is true about the area of the circles?
A.
Not enough information is given to make a comparison between the areas of the circles.
B.
The area of circle 1 is less than the area of circle 2.
C.
The area of circle 1 equals the area of circle 2.
D.
The area of circle 1 is greater than the area of circle 2.
A. Not enough information is given to make a comparison between the areas of the circles.
Since only the circumferences of the circles are given, we do not have enough information to determine the areas of the circles. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Without knowing the radius of either circle, we cannot compare their areas.
