The formula for the area of a circle is, A = πr2
If the area is tripled then the larger circle has an area of A2 = πR2 (where R is the new radius)
But, πR2 = 3πr2 : R2 = 3r2 : R = r√3
The circumference of the original circle was 2πr.
The circumference of the larger circle is 2πR = 2πr√3
Therefore, if the area is tripled, then the circumference increases by √3.

If the radius is tripled then the Area will be greater by a factor of 9. And the circumference will be greater by a factor of 3.
You dived the area by the circumference of the circle.
Circumference of a circle is (pi * diameter). Area of a circle is (pi * r2).
Area = (Circumference squared)/4 pi Circumference = 2 sqrt(Area times pi)
The area of a circle with circumference 9.42in is: about 7.061 square inches.
