Yes, it is true the sum of the two smaller areas is equal to the area of the large circle.
Is it true that the (small area) + (medium area) = large area?
Remember that for a circle of radius R, the area is:
[tex]A = pi*R^2[/tex]
Where pi = 3.14
For the smallest circle, we have R = 3 in.
Then:
[tex]small \ area = 3.14*(3in)^2 = 28.26 in^2[/tex]
For the medium circle, R = 4in
[tex]medium \ area = 3.14*(4in)^2 = 50.24 in^2[/tex]
For the large circle, R = 5in
[tex]large \ area = 3.14*(5in)^2 = 78.5 in^2[/tex]
If we add the first two, we get:
28.26 + 50.24 = 78.5
So yes, it is true that the sum of the first two areas is equal to the area of the largest circle.
