If the radius of a circle is diminished by 10%, then its area is diminished by

Answer»

Let the radius of the circle be r

Then area of cirlce =πr

Given that radius of the circle is diminished by 10%

Hence the new radius =r−(10%ofr)=90%ofr=

“Percentage of area diminished is 19”%

Let the radius of the circle be r

Then area of circle = πr2

Given that radius of the circle is diminished by 10%

Hence the new radius = r − (10% of r) = 90% of r = 9r/10

Area of the new circle = π (9r/10)2 = 81/100 πr2

Change in area πr2 − 81/100 πr2 = 19/100 πr2 = 0.19 πr2

Percentage of area diminished is 19%.
