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 triangle 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 , and lastly, divide, to get your answer

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

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
