Partly Circles printable sheet
Here are three problems involving circles.
Can you solve them?
Can you find relationships between the three problems?
Firstly Show that ab = cd (where a, b, c, d are lengths)
These three circles are drawn so that they touch each other, and their centres are all on the line AB.
If CD is $8$ units in length, what is the area of the region shaded yellow?
Lastly: If the area shaded yellow is equal to the area of the larger of the two blue circles, what is the relationship between the radii of the three circles?
