The wheels on the bicycle are circles. The diameter of the large wheel is 3 times longer than the small wheel. How many times greater is the area of the larger circle than the area of the smaller circle

The area of the larger circle is 9 times greater than that of the smaller circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the diameter of the smaller circle and d be the diameter of the larger circle. If d₁ = 3d

Since Area of a circle A = πd²/4 ⇒ A ∝ d²

Let A be the area of the smaller circle and A₁ be the area of the larger circle.

So, A₁/A = d₁²/d² = (3d)²/d² = 9

A₁/A = 9

A₁ = 9A

So the area of the larger circle is 9 times greater than that of the smaller circle.

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
