We can look at total areas (and ignore units-they're all the same). The smaller circle has an area of 9pi, and the larger circle has an area of 25pi. The smaller circle is entirely inside of the larger circle. So anything not in the smaller circle is in the larger circle. 16pi square centimeters are part of only the larger circle. 16pi/25pi=.64. So the desired probability is .64.
another, larger circle, perhaps. or a larger shape than the circle.
Leave the point of your compass in the same spot on your paper. Draw one circle, then change the angle to be either larger and smaller, then draw another circle.
Find the area of both circles (A = πr2) and subtract the area of the larger circle from that of the smaller circle inside it.
-- Every circle has a diameter of some size. -- All of the diameters that you can draw in the same circle are the same size. -- The smaller the circle is, the smaller its diameter is. There's no minimum size. -- The larger the circle is, the larger its diameter is. There's no maximum size.

depending on the circles equation..a larger circle is easier
First find the area of the larger circle and then subtract the area of the smaller circle. Area=(pi x radiuslarger)-( pi x radiussmaller)

You cannot because you do not know how the circles are related to one another.

-- divide the larger number by the smaller one-- subtract '1' from the answer-- multiply what's left by 100You now have the percentage increase from the smaller number to the larger one.
6 inches pi*32 = 9*pi square inches (smaller circle) pi*62 = 36*pi square inches (larger circle)
divide the smaller number by the larger number, and multiply by 100. 60 is 75% of 80.
