Problem
A right triangle is inscribed in circle
, and a
right triangle is inscribed in circle
. What is the ratio of the area of circle
to the area of circle
?
Solution 1
Because the triangles are right triangles, we know the hypotenuses are diameters of circles and
. Thus, their radii are 2.5 and 6.5 (respectively). Square the two numbers and multiply
to get
and
as the areas of the circles. Multiply 4 on both numbers to get
and
. Cancel out the

Solution 1.5 (Way FASTER! Use in the contest)
With right triangles inscribed in circles, the hypotenuse must be the diameter. Therefore, the ratio of radii is which means the area ratio is just
so,
-Mismatchedcubing/Andrew_Lu
Solution 2
Since the arc angle of the diameter of a circle is degrees, the hypotenuse of each these two triangles is respectively the diameter of circles
and
.
Therefore the ratio of the areas equals the radius of circle squared : the radius of circle
squared
the diameter of circle
, squared :
the diameter of circle
, squared
the diameter of circle
, squared: the diameter of circle
, squared
~Mintylemon66
Solution 3
The ratio of areas of circles is the same as the ratios of the diameters squared (since they are similar figures). Since this is a right triangle the hypotenuse of each triangle will be the diameter of the circle. This yields the expression
