their areas are 𝐴1 = 𝜋𝑟12 cm² and 𝐴2 = 𝜋𝑟22 cm² respectively.
It is given that the sum of the radii of two circles is 140 cm and difference

Let the radius of circles be 𝑟 cm, 𝑟1 cm and 𝑟2 cm respectively. Then their

areas are 𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 2 cm² , 𝐴1 = 𝜋𝑟12 cm²and 𝐴2 = 𝜋𝑟22 cm² respectively.

It is given that,
Area A of circle = Area 𝐴1 of circle + Area 𝐴2 of circle
𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝜋𝑟12 + 𝜋𝑟22
𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝜋(𝑟12 + 𝑟22 )
𝑟 2 = 𝑟12 + 𝑟22
𝑟 2 = 𝑟12 + 𝑟22
We have, 𝑟1 = 6 cm and 𝑟2 = 8 cm
Substituting the values of 𝑟1 , 𝑟2
𝑟2 = 6 × 6 + 8 × 8
𝑟 2 = 36 + 64
𝑟 2 = 100
𝑟 = √100

It is given that,
Circumference C of circle

2𝜋𝑟 = 2𝜋𝑟1 + 2𝜋𝑟2
2𝜋𝑟 = 2𝜋(𝑟1 + 𝑟2 )
𝑟 = 𝑟1 + 𝑟2
We have, 𝑟1 = 19 cm and 𝑟2 = 9 cm
Substituting the values of 𝑟1 , 𝑟2
𝑟 = 19 + 9

ANSWER:
Let the radius of the inner circle and the race track be R m.
C

Outer circumference of the race track = 528 m

⇒𝑅= = 84 m

Total radius of the outer circle = 84 − 14 = 70 m

Area of the circular track = Area of the outer circle − area of inner circle
