The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.

Ratio of sides is 5:2, so ratio of areas is 52:22 = 25:4

So the larger circle has an area that is 25/4 = 61/4 (= 6.25) times the area of the smaller circle.

The difference in areas is given by taking the area of the smaller circle from the area of the larger circle.

area_circle = π x radius2

radius = diameter/2

larger_area = π x (5/2)2 cm2

smaller_area = π x (2/2)2 cm2

⇒ difference = larger_area - smaller_area

= (π x 25/4 - π) cm2

= 21π/4 cm2

≈ 16.49 cm2

Is the area of a circle bigger than the area of a square?

It depends on the diameter of the circle and the width of the square, if they are the same then the answer is no. If you draw yourself a square then inscribe a circle with a radius of half the length of a side of the square, the circle will fit inside the square but the corners of the square will be outside the circle. Thus by inspection the area of the square is larger than the area of the circle.

How big is a 12 mm circle?

A 12 mm circle has a diameter of 12 millimeters, which is slightly less than half an inch (approximately 0.47 inches). The radius, which is half the diameter, is 6 mm. In terms of area, the circle has an area of about 113.1 square millimeters. This size is comparable to the diameter of a large button or a small coin.
