Three circles are inside of a big circle. The yellow circle and the red circle meet at the center/centre of the big circle.
What fraction of the big circle is painted?
Solution
As the red circle passes through the center/centre of the big circle, and the area of the others circles are and , we get that its radius is 3.
Then, the radius of the big circle is the double, i.e., 6. So, the area of the big circle is .
So, the fraction of the big circle that is colored is
