the diameter of 2 circles are in the ratio of 5 :12 and the sum of their areas is equal to the area of a circle of radius 13 cm . find the diameters of the given circles .

If the diameters are in the ratio 5:12, same is the radii,
let the multiple be: x
then radii of both the circles are 5x and 12x
pi(5x)2 + pi(12)2 = pi(13)2
dviding by pi,
25x2 + 144x2=169
169x2=169
x2=1
x=1cm
So, the radii are: 5cm and 12cm, while the diameters are 10cm and 24 cm
