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.
