Solution
If the radius of a circle is tripled, the area becomes 9 times.
Explanation:
Let r be the radius of a circle.
∴ Area of circle = πr2
If radius is tripled, then new radius will be 3r.
∴ Area of new circle = π(3r)2 = 9π2 = 9 times of original
Hence, the area of a circle becomes 9 times to the original area.
