There are 2 circles, 1 big circle and 1 small circle, and they meet at one point. The diameter of the small circle is equal to the radius of the big circle, and the area of the big circle is \(14π\). What is the area of the small circle?

\(A. 3π\)
\(B. 3.5π\)
\(C. 4π\)
\(D. 4.5π\)
\(E. 7π\)

The ratio of areas of two circles is the same as the ratio of the squares of their respective Radii / Diameters. Hence the correct answer should be 1/4 of the area of the bigger circle.

==> Ratio of length^2=Ratio of area, and since the ratio of the length is 2, the ratio of the area becomes 4, so you get \(\frac{14π}{4}=3.5π\).

The answer is B.
Answer: B
