The ratio of the radius of two circles is 1: 3, and then the ratio of their areas is_________?
Correct answer: C. 1:9
- A. 1:3
- B. 1:6
- C. 1:9
- D. 1:5
Explanation
Circle area varies as the square of radius. Squaring the radius ratio 1:3 gives areas 1²:3² = 1:9. The likely wrong choice is 1:3, which uses the radius ratio without squaring it.

About Ratio and Proportion
Ratios compare quantities in the same units, while proportions state that two ratios are equal. Problems cover simplification, division in a given ratio, direct and inverse variation, scale, and missing terms, with attention to the difference between a ratio and a fraction representing part of a whole.
