The area increases by 21%.

  • Let r=the original radius
  • and let R=the increased radius
  • 10% of r is .1r
  • R=r + .1 r
  • so R=1.1r
  • a=the original area
  • and A=the area of the larger circle
  • a= pi x r2
  • A= pi x R2=pi x (1.1r)2=pi x 1.21r2
  • A=1.21 x (pi x r2)=1.21 a
  • A=a + .21 a

The area of the new circle increases by 21%
