Radius of 1st circle = 8 cm (given) ∴ Area of 1st circle = π(8)2 = 64π Radius of 2nd circle = 6 cm (given) ∴ Area of 2nd circle = π(6)2 = 36π So, The sum of 1st and 2nd circle will be = 64π+36π = 100π Now, assume that the radius of 3rd circle = R ∴ Area of the circle 3rd circle = πR2 It is given that the area of the circle 3rd circle = Area of 1st circle + Area of 2nd circle Or, πR2 = 100πcm2 R2 = 100cm2 So, R = 10cm
