In the diagram, the two circles have a common centre O. If the area of the larger circle is 100\(\pi\) and that of the smaller circle is 49\(\pi\), find x
A
2
B
3
C
4
D
6
correct option: b
area of larger circle = 100\(\pi\)

\(\pi r^2 = 100\pi\)

R2 = 100

R = 10(Radius)

Area of smaller circle = \(49 \pi\)

\(\pi r^2 = 49\pi\)

r2 = 49

r = 7(radius)

Since R = x + r

x = R - r

x = 10 - 7 = 3
