Respuesta :
It’s 9. 3x9 is 27. Nothing else times anything equals 27, excluding decimals.
Answer:
3 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear ratio = 3 : 1, hence
The area ratio = 3² : 1² = 9 : 1
let x be the area of the smaller circle, then
[tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{27}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
9x = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 3
Area of the smaller circle = 3 in²
