The answer to your question is 8 cm diameter, increasing to 16 cm diameter:

r2 squared = 4 x r1 squared and r2 = r1 + 4

r1 squared + 8r1 + 16 = 4r1 squared

3r1 squared - 8r1 - 16 = 0

Factors are (3r1 + 4)(r1 - 4), so original radius was 4cm (area 16pi) and increased radius is 8 cm (area 64pi).

What happens to the area of a circle if the diameter is quadrupled?

If the diameter of a circle is quadrupled, the circle's area goes up 16 times as area is proportional to diameter squared. Remember area = pi /4 times diameter squared -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In any ratio of shapes: whatever the ratio of the lengths, the ratio of the areas is the square of that ratio. In this case, the ratio is 1:4, so the areas are in the ratio of 1²:4² = 1:16; ie as the length of the diameter is quadrupled (ratio 1:4), the area becomes 16 times bigger (1:16).


How do you find the diameter of a circle with the width and length?

Meaning of diameter in a circle?

The diameter of a circle is the length of the circle from one side to the other, going through the middle of the circle. The radius is the measurement of length from the middle of the circle to the perimeter of the circle. This is half of the diameter.


If both the diameter of wire and its length were quadrupled what will happen to its resistance?

If both the diameter and length of a wire are quadrupled, the resistance of the wire will increase by a factor of 16. This is because resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire, which is determined by the diameter. By quadrupling both, the resistance will increase by 4^2 = 16 times.
