The area quadruples.

The area increases as the square of the radius (or diameter). So if you double the radius you * 4 (quadruple) the area. Treble the radius, you *9 the area.
The circumfrence would double Example : C of 5 cm radius circle = 3.14 *2*5 C=3.14 C of 10cm radius circle = 3.14*2*10 C =62.8
The circumference is doubled or tripled, respectively.
If you double the diameter of a circle, the area will quadruple (be 4x greater).The area of the circle increases exponentially with the diameter, or more precisely with the radius, which is 1/2 the diameter. A = (pi)r2Doubling the diameter of a circle will quadruple the area (22 =4).This is easily seen in pizzas, where the dough needed for a 16-inch pizza can be used instead to make 4 pizzas with a diameter of 8 inches.---The equation to find the area of a circle is a=(pi)r2. If the diameter is doubled, then the radius is also doubled, because the radius is just half the diameter.The area of a circle once its radius (and therefore diameter) has been doubled can be expressed as follows: a'=(pi)(2r)2, which simplifies to a'=(pi)(4r2).To find the proportion of a' and a, we just divide the second by the first. This gets us[(pi)(4r2)]/[(pi)(r2)]=4
If the radius of a circle doubles, the circumference doubles, and so does the diameter.
