Correction, how many Toyotas can we Terminate on the border.
Finally someone is asking the important questions
Well a 2015 Toyota Hilux Crew Cab Variant is listed by Wikipedia as being 5335mm (or 5.335m) long. The border is listed as being 85m long. Therefore we could fit approximately 16 Toyota Hilux's parked end to end in the border

*whips out a notepad and a pencil* The green shaded area is 2 times bigger than the blue shaded area
True that!
Is it? It doesn't even pass the eye test. So if the large half-circle radius (R) is 12cm, it's surface area is:
Rπ² / 2
= 144 * π / 2 cm²
= 72 π cm²
For smaller shapes, we have 3 half-circles, where the radius (r) is 3 times smaller than the large radius (R). So we have:
3 x (R / 3)² π / 2
= 3 x (12cm / 3)² π / 2
= 3 x 4² π / 2 cm²
= 3 x 16 π / 2 cm²
= 48 π / 2 cm²
= 24 π cm²
So that surface is 3 times smaller than the large half-circle
@@Formula7Driver You forgot a vital step; subtracting the surface area of the three blue half-circles from the larger green half-circle.
So, if we are following what you are doing above: 72 π cm² - 24 π cm² = 48 π cm². Thus making it two times as big.
@@ElectricCueball green is below the blue, but it's there
@@Formula7Driver That isn't stated in the question... If you read the question literally, then the blue area would not be included as part of the green area.

Assumptions:
1. The compositions of both the blue and green areas form half of a perfect circle
2. Each blue area is half of a perfect circle
3. All blue areas are equal in radius
4. The sum of the blue diameters is equal to the total half circle diameter composed of both the green and blue areas
Solution:
DFN: D - The diameter of one blue circle
DFN: R - The Radius of 1 blue circle
2R = D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Area of one blue circle:
A_b = (pi*R^2)/2
The Net Area of the blue sections:
(By Assumption no. 3) A_b-net = (3/2)pi R^2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Area of the green/blue section:
(By Assumption no. 4) A_b/g = [pi (3D/2)^2]/2
(D/2 = R -> A_b/g = pi(3R)^2)/2
IE the area of the total composition is half of the area of a circle, whose radius is defined as half of the total diameter composition (defined as D from each blue section, which there are 3 of).
Specifically:
A_b/g = ([9D^2]/4)(pi/2)
OR
A_b/g = pi (9R^2)/2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area of the green and blue composite area: 9pi R^2/2
Area of blue area: 3pi R^2/2
Difference between the green and blue area:
A_comp = [9-3] pi R^2/2
A_comp = 6pi R^2/2
A_comp is the area of the green section (we removed the blue areas from the total composite area)
6pi R^2/2 = 2 x 3pi R^2/2
IE
The area of the green section is defined as being twice the area of the total blue section.
The area of the green section is 2 times greater than that of the blue section.
Dumb it down for me
Why did you do that?
i got the same answer. i am not gonna read a comment this long but it took me lot less writing to solve it😂
I got the same answer. My strategy? I guessed
simpler solution
area of a circle πr².
area of a circle ¹/₂πr²
area of 3 half circles 1 ¹/₂(πr²)
Blue area (assuming radius of each circle is 1)
1 ¹/₂(π1²) ---- the three comes from having three circles.
1 ¹/₂(π1)
1 ¹/₂π ---- the are of the blue circle
area of the of the larger half circle. (note, radius is 3 times longer)
¹/₂(πr²)
¹/₂(π3²)
¹/₂(π9)
4¹/₂π
area of the green circle is the area of the larger circle minus the area of the blue area
4¹/₂π - 1 ¹/₂π = 3π
then to get the answer of how many times you multiple the blue area to get the green are, you need to divide the green area by the blue area
3π÷1¹/₂π=2
so the answer is the green area is twice the size of the blue area

In Spain we also have Llivia, a small city in middle of France. Time ago, Spain had a portion of south France called Rosellon , and It was part of Aragon ( now Catalonia ) . When Napoleón ruled Spain, they tooked that territory, except Llivia, because It was a small village and France just avoid them . I thought that was one of the smallest borders in the world, but somehow Spain just kept that anyways lmao
"Tooked"
Tenemos las que Llivia en comun, vecino del Sur, del otro lado del Pireneo encontraras la isla Kompanzia, que administramos 6 meses por Francia y seis por España cada año 😃
Llívia was always part of Catalonia. Catalonia was a territory of the Crown of Aragon (royal family), not part of Aragon (kingdom, territory)
Roussillon aka North Catalonia was ceded by Spain to France in 1659 with the treaty of Pyrenees, under King Louis XIV, so MUCH EARLIER than Napoleon.

@@panos1b where are you able to do so? I'm personally not aware of any such place in Germany. If you count the single states of Germany, you could max reach 3 different States within 5 minutes. If you count other Nations and German States, you could in theory cross 4, but the only location I'm aware of where that is possible is in the middle of Lake Constance. So one would have to be able to walk on water or walk on a boat in order to do so.
Perhaps I simply wasn't aware that such a place exists inside Germany tho. If it's not about different borders, but you also count crossing a border with the same nation twice as long as it's at a different location, then you could do so with the German-Belgian border.
It actually used to be the case that you could pass through borders in Germany so fast, but that was in the Holy Roman Empire and the German Confederation...

About the riddle in the end:
Each of the small semicircles have an area of πd^2/8 and the the whole shape, green and blue, has an area of π9d^2/8. The small semisircles have a combined area of 3πd^2/8. By subtracting the combined area of the shape with the area of the semicircles we get an area of 6πd^2/8 witch is the green one.
So the green area is 2 times larger than the blue one.
its not a riddle bitch , its a problem
and they are exactly the same size since the green area covered by blue is not green anymore
Mark no because big: ((3r)^2)pi/2 while small: 3((r^2)pi)/2 therefore big = 1.5(pi)(r^2) and small = 4.5(pi)(r^2) so green is three times bigger
My head hurts.
@@Axolotls_out The "big" area that you are mentioning is the area of the whole shape (green and blue) and not only the green area.
4:30 area of a circle is calculated as pi times the radious ^2, so if the radius of the blue area is 1 unit, the radious of the green one is 3
If we define a new area unit that is the radius of blue squared times pi, then the total blue area is 3, and the total green area is 6 (9 - 3). Twice as big

As spaniard myself, i know a bit of the history of those exclaves. They were part of the iberian kingdoms since the middle ages, even before Morocco exist. Spain conquered them in order to stop pirates raids in the iberian costs. I am not telling you what to think about if Spain should retain them or not, just telling their history, Spain didn't conquer them in the XIX century as is told in this video. Peace.
Interesting view. Some people would intend that the Idrisids were the first to rule Kingdom of Morocco in 8th century and therefore contend that Ceuta was Moroccan before The county of Castile even existed. But again if you go even before that Ceuta was part of Visigothic Hispania, whose count Julian was responsible for it’s conquest by the Umayyad caliphate. The world is a cat and mouse game, sometimes your the cat but you could also be the mouse, just watch out.
As half moroccan i can say that i have heard of this and although im just 13 this is mostly true
Before Morocco existed?? Do you have any idea when the Moroccan Kingdom was founded?
@@sphinxfive1331 Morocco has been ruled by many dynasties such as the idrisids, almoravids, marinids and alaouites and likewise spain has been ruled by successive houses from the Visigoths of the 7th century, to trastamaras, habsburgs, and bourbons. Dynasties change but it's the same country.

I did the math in my head for the circle problem. It took longer than I think I should have, and it has been a long day, so if it’s wrong, forgive me. The green area is two times the size of the blue area. To put it in the terms used in the question, it is one time larger, but the usage of “times larger” sometimes seems to vary between referring to the difference when one is subtracted from the other or to the number of times the smaller will fit into the larger, which is why I’ve described it in two different ways.
Oh. I did it in paper and got pie1.5radius of smaller circle squared greater than the blue area. But im in 8th grade and was not taught this yet but i do know geometry pretty well. I think this is rather far above my level so points for that?
Yes the green area is twice (or 2 times) as large as the blue. I got 3 times at first but I was forgetting to subtract the blue area from the green.
It's actually 3 times (edit: it's not, @5135TheEm's comment above shows my mistake). 3 blue diameters are equal to one green diameter. Which means R=3r where R is green diameter and r is blue diameter.
Green area = πR²/2 = 9πr²/2
Blue area = 3×πr²/2 [as there are 3 semicircles]
Thus green area is 3 times the blue area

The reason the Bridge between Botswana and Zambia Avoids Zimbabwe is because at the initial planning of the bridge Zimbabwe was a part of it but that time it was still ruled by Mugabe who later pulled out of the deal thus forcing both countries to increase their own costs and redesign the project.
And funny enough when Mugabe was overthrown and Zimbabwe's new leader showed interest the project was to far ahead for a redesign.

Easy come on; radius of the blue ones = r, radius of the green is 3r. Area of a blue one is 0.5*pie*r^2. Area of the green is 0.5* pie*(3r)^2 = 0.5*pie*9r^s. Divide green by blue to get how many times larger green is than one blue, all the 9 cancel so green is 9 times larger. But there’s 3 blues so 9/3 = 3 the green 3 times larger. But it is partly blocked out. So as the blue is 1/3 the size of the whole green- 3 -1/3*3= 2. The Area that is green is 2 times larger than the area that is blue

Well I get the same thing (slightly different working), so hey. 🤓 (Of course that’s assuming there isn’t anything sneaky they’ve done there...)
I did this too:
If we assume the green has a radius of 1, the blue has a radius of 1/3.
The blue area is 3/18π and the green area is 1/2π.
x(3/18)π = (1/2)π
x(3/18) = 1/2
x(6/18) = 1
6/18 = 1/x
1/(6/18) = x = 3
The green is 3 times as big as the blue.
This is assuming that the green area is not (1/2π) - (3/18π) which it might be. If it is, then this is the math:
x(3/18)π = (1/2π) - (3/18π)
x(3/18) = 1/3
x(9/18) = 1
9/18 = 1/x
1/(9/18) = x = 2
The green is 2 times as big as the blue.

I would say the Channel tunnel between the UK and France is the shortest international border: two 24 ft 11 in diameter rail tunnels.
4:26 The green area is a semicircle that is geometrically similar to the three blue semicircles. The diameter of the green area is three times that of each of the blue shapes. Multiplying the dimensions by 3 means multiplying the area by the square of 3, which is 9, so the green semicircle would be nine times the size of one blue semicircle. However, the blue semicircles are subtracted from the green area, and nine blue areas minus three blue areas means that the green area has the area of six of the blue semicircles. However, the total blue area is comprised of three blue semicircles, meaning that the ratio between green area and blue area is 6 : 3. This simplifies to 2 : 1, which is our final answer.
This is a neat way of going about that problem. I just used algebra.

Answer to the maths question for anyone wondering:
The formula for the area of a circle is πr^2. So for a semicircle, it is πr^2/2.
The radius of the green semicircle is 3x the radius of one of the blue semicircles.
Let's call the radius of one of the blue semicircles 1. So the radius of the green semicircle is 3.
So the area of the full green semicircle is π x 9/2, which is 4.5π.
The area of the 3 blue semicircles combined is three times π x 1/2, which is 1.5π.
So the green area (green semicircle - blue semicircles) is 3π.
Therefore, the green area is 2x the blue area.

Do you want to make a video on why is it worth it for Brilliant to advertise the same service to the same audience over and over again? Its genuinely an interesting question because 3-4 times on the same channel seems enough for people to acknowledge their existence.
This is a classic problem in advertising. Why does coke run so many ads when it seems almost everyone knows it exists? The answer is pretty simple. Babies.
More specifically, if something is known by everyone, then almost paradoxically the rate of people finding out about it is quite high. It's the birthrate. Every day 12,000 people are born in the US, meaning almost 12,000 people a day are seeing a coke ad for the first time. That's why they keep running ads.
Same is true for brilliant, but in this case the rate of people seeing the ad for the first time is the rate of people finding this channel for the first time.
Tldr as long as people keep finding this channel, or makes sense to keep running the same ads.
Objects in Motion I somewhat understand the implications for Coke. And I feel like a powerful brand image is part of it too. But in case with Brilliant if they get 100k new people finding out about them (which is the main reason for them running these ads according to you) then surely there would be someone who is ready to pay more for 500k of new potential audience.
You would think, but in the end views are not important, subscriptions are. Brilliant keeps running ads on HAI because they have data showing it works. For every channel Brilliant advertises over and over on, there are 10 channels that get 1 ad and no others (I know of a few, they always seem like they don't belong on certain channels). The first time an ad runs is always a risk, its a a trial that rarely breaks even on the ad cost. Advertisers only make money on the repeat ads, which they only run on carriers that pass the trial. Brilliant knows that the new influx of people watching HAI are the type of people who are more likely than average to purchase a subscription. Even if only 10% of the views on this video are new, if on average 5% of HAI views are into Brilliant (0.5% of total views), then they make more than if say a cosmetics company runs an ad and, not surprisingly, only 0.2% of the audience are into makeup.
Thus, while another company might get significantly more exposure by running many first-time ads, its very risky and often only profitable if it helps you find your target audience. After which point it makes sense to focus on the people that are newly joining that audience.
The answer is : they repeat it to make you feel that should be your first option. They engrave it in your minds . Many times companies use catchy rhymy tunes to do the same

since the UK and France share a land border because of the channel tunnel wouldnt that be the shortest international border?
No because its a shared tunnel. Let’s say a country builds half side of one tunnel and another builds the other half then it’s possible but both countries helped each other build it which makes the border outside of the tunnel instead of going through the channel. It’s also important to keep in mine of actual land borders than underground sea borders
That's not a "land" border.
Let us assume the diameter of the green circle is 3cm. This is arbitrary, but it does help us solve this problem. To find how much bigger the green area is compared to the blue, we have to find the area of the bigger half-circle and subtract away the three smaller blue half circles. ((3/2)^2 x 3.14) = 7.065. Now because it is a half-circle, we divide it by two. This means the larger half-circle area is 3.5325cm2. now, we need to calculate the area of the three smaller circles. Since the diameter of the larger circle is 3cm, and there are 3 smaller circles, each diameter of the smaller circle is 1cm. area of one smaller half-circle: ((1/2)^2 x 3.14)/2 = 0.3925. Each blue half-circle is 0.3925cm2. because there are 3 half circles, we multiply that area by 3. 0.3925 x 3 = 1.1775cm2. because these smaller semicircles are taking up the larger semicircle's area, we subtract the area of the smaller semi-circle from the larger one. 3.5325 - 1.1775 = 2.335
What we have now is the area of both colors. Green has an area of 2.335cm2 and blue has an area of 1.1775cm2. to find how much bigger the green is compared to the blue, we can turn these numbers into a percentage. (1.1775/2.335) x 100 is 50. We can conclude blue is 50 percent of the Green's area, therefore, green's area is 2 times bigger than blue's area.
Final answer: Green is 2 times the size of Blue.
New shortest bordes. I've made my apartment independent. The thing is that I lived in Madrid so Spain still has the shortest border :)
4:20
the answer is two times greater
blue radius= r/3 so blue area=1/2(pi(r/3)^2)
green radius=r so green area= 1/2(pi(r)^2)
so then blue=1/9 whole thing
3 blue=1/3 whole thing
if blue is 1/3, green is 2/3
1/3 * 2 = 2/3 therefore the area of green is twice the area of blue
for anyone wondering :) (i was bored so i gave it a shot)
The UK and France have a short border half-way along the Channel Tunnel.
I solved the problem at the end. The green area is exactly 2 times as big as the blue area.
4:28 Well I see no one answering it here,so the answer is '2 times greater'. [Correct me if you think it's wrong]
One blue half circle is 3*3 = 9 times smaller than the green one. But there are three blues, so 9/3 = 3.
Edit: I forgot to exclude the blue area to the green area. So you substract 1 third and you have two thirds left, which is 2 times one third. So the answer is 2. What silly mistake I made!
@Chopsticks and Noodles It is only 2 times greater, you do not include the blue shaded area when trying to figure the area for the green circle
All of you are wrong. The answer is 1. It's not asking how many times as big. It's asking how many times bigger. That's a percentage change. If the blue has an area of 1, then the green has an area of 2. The correct math would then be (2-1)/1 = 1.

Say the radii of the smaller (blue) semi-circles are r each. Hence each of their areas are 0.5πr^2. Since there are 3 of them, their total area is 3x0.5πr^2,
or *1.5πr^2.*
Now the radius of the bigger (green+blue) semi-circle is r+r+r, or 3r, and hence the area is 0.5π(3r)^2,
or *4.5πr^2.*
The green area = the area of the bigger semi-circle - the total area of the blue semi-circles
= 4.5πr^2 - 1.5πr^2
= *3πr^2*
Green/blue = *3πr^2 / 1.5πr^2*
= *2*
The green area is twice the size of the blue area.
I got the same answer, but I handled things slightly differently:
I arbitrarily plugged in 12 as the d of the main half circle, making the d of each blue half circle=4, and their respective r=4 and 2.
The area of a circle=(pi)r^2, so a half circle's area = 1/2 (pi)r^2. So,
.The whole half circle's area = .5*6*6*3.14 = 56.52 and the blue half circles' area = .5*4*4*3.14*3 = 18.84
Since the green area = whole area - blue area, the ratio of green area to blue area = (56.52-18.84)/18.84 = 37.68/18.84 =2.

The underground border between France and the UK in the Channel tunnel is even shorter: 7.6m + 4.8m + 7.6m = 20m (inner diameter of the two train tunnels and the service tunnel).

G.A=2 B.A
Yeah that's what I got
how did yo get 2x, i got 3x.
3r^2*pi divided by 2 is the area of the three blue half circels or in other words 3P1, and the same formula is the area of the green half circle or P2, so P2=3P1.
you can even remove the divide by two since the ratio of surfeces is the same regaldles if its a half circle or a full circle
edit: only thing that comes to mind if you remove the blue area from the green, but we dont know if the green area is bellow the blue ones or not, so in that regard both answers are posibly corect
@@termivan We do subtract the blue area from the whole semi-circle. I don't think someone would create a question with 2 answers.
@@termivan The blue areas aren't green. They don't count toward green's area. There's nothing "below" anything, it's just a two dimensional plot of space. If you're going to imply that green extends "under" blue, then it's equally like that blue also extends "under" green. In which case green and blue are both semicircles, which just makes a mockery of the whole concept. So you take Green's area as if it were a semicircle, then subtract blue's area, which gives you a relationship of 2x, as you suggested it could.

And what about the shortest border between a recognised and unrecognised state? My first guess would be the exclave of Kokkina. A tiny bit of Turkish Cypriot controlled territory surrounded by the internationally-recognised Republic of Cyprus and separated from the rest of the self-declared Turkish Cypriot ‘state’ (TRNC).
If we assume the green has a radius of 1, the blue has a radius of 1/3.
The blue area is 3/18π and the green area is 1/2π.
x(3/18)π = (1/2)π
x(3/18) = 1/2
x(6/18) = 1
6/18 = 1/x
1/(6/18) = x = 3
The green is 3 times as big as the blue.
This is assuming that the green area is not (1/2π) - (3/18π) which it might be. If it is, then this is the math:
x(3/18)π = (1/2π) - (3/18π)
x(3/18) = 1/3
x(9/18) = 1
9/18 = 1/x
1/(9/18) = x = 2
The green is 2 times as big as the blue.
4:27
Assume the base is 12
Total area = 1/2[π(6²)] = 18π
Blue area = 1/2[3π(2²)] = 6π
Green area = 18π - 6π = 12π
Green is twice as large as blue
Yeah, I was confused with the base.

end riddle
say the blue half circles each have an area of 1
the green half circle is as wide as 3 blue ones
since area scales squarely with circumference, the green half circle is 9 times as big as a blue one
now there are three blue half circles each with an area of 1, the blue area is 3
the green half circle has an area of 9 but the green area has 3 blue half circles removed
so the green area has an area of 6
6 divided by 3 is 2
the green area is twice as big as the blue area
Question at the end:
We can clearly see that the middle circles are 1/3 of the diameter of the bigger larger circle.
By using the formula " R × R × π" we can calculate the area of any circle and take half of it for calculating half a cricle.
Lets calculate the inner circle first by using any number, i choose 3 for R
( 3 x 3 x 3,14 )/ 2 = 28,26
Now multiple by 3 since we have 3 half cicles
28,26 x 3 = 84,78
Now lets take the outer circle
Since the middle circles diameter is a third of the larger we can conclude that in this case the R would be 9 so:
(9 x 9 x 3,14 )/2 = 254,34
Now lets subtract the area of the inner circles
254,34-84,78=169,56
169,56 is double of 84,78 so the green area is twice as big as the blue area.
You're correct but I think it's nicer to just keep the variables like pi instead of multiplying it out.
That way you get (r×r×pi)/6 for the blue area and (r×r×pi)/2 for the whole thing
from there it's as simple as 1/2 - 1/6 to get the area of the green part which is ((r×r×pi)×2)/6
So ignoring the (r×r×pi), because it's the same for both you get 1/6 for blue and 2/6 for green, obviously meaning green=2×blue
I like this better, because it can be done entirely without the need of rounding the irrational numbers you get, when multiplying with pi
Having to rounf them obviously will always lead to small amounts of inaccuracy, so avoiding it is beneficial
Also I'm to stoopid to multiply with pi in my head and I didn't want to go get a calculator

Melilla is a very, very special place. It has beautiful beaches and its natives are Spaniards, North Moroccans and Jews which all live peacefully together. The only bad thing is that the last few years it has become a bit overcrowded as people use it to cross into European borders from Africa but that isn't as bad as it used to be at one point.
Also, it's a tax paradise ;)

pretty sure the brilliant riddle answer is 3. I know I'm late on this but it's pretty simple so click down for the explanation.
The area of a circle is pi(3.14159...) * r (radius, let's say the small circle is r = 1) ^ 2.
So half a blue circle has an area of pi * 1 * 1 / 2 = pi/2.
Multiply by 3 for 3 semi-circles and u got 3pi/2.
The big semi-circle has a radius of 3 since 6 blue circle's radius fit in it, so half that is 3.
So green semi-circle area is (pi * 3 ^ 2)/2 = 9pi/2
To sum it all up blue area = 3pi/2 and green area = 9pi/2.
To find the answer just divide the greater by the smaller: (9pi/2)/(3pi/2) = (9pi)/(3pi) = 9/3 = 3
The green bit has double the are of the blue sections
3 times the area

@@garrettyoung3597 I had it at 5, but i used 9piRsq instead of 9/2piRsq.
It's twice as big
Green is twice as big as blue.
Radius of green = 3* radius of blue
Area of blue = 3/2 *pi* rad of blue sq.
Area of green =total area of big semi circle - area of blue
= pi*rad of green sq/2- area of green
Da da da da da......
Area of green = 2* area of blue
Since three small blue circles fit in the one big green circle the diameter of the green is 3 times larger than the blue. Since area of a circle is pi*r^2, and the green radius is 3 times bigger, then it is 3^2 bigger. So green area is 9 times bigger than blue comparing the circles. But since 3 blues are covering up 1 green then 9-3 is 6 for green. So 3 blue and 6 green, which leaves the green area of that image being twice the blue.

You find the radius of the WHOLE green circle then find the area (pie radius to the power of 2) then once you find the area you divide by 2
Then you find the radius and then the area of each blue circle, add them up and find the difference
Once you have the difference divide that by the three circle's area
BOOM!
they are not asking you to measure it ; they are asking you to answer it with the information you have already been given
the correct answer in 9
reason 1 :
the horizontal change is 3 x because it is 3 x the length at the bottom
it is directly proportional so the vertical change is the same as the horizontal change
the vertical change is therefore also 3
the total change is the horizontal change x vertical change
3 x 3 is 9 so the total change is 9
reason 2:
length of the base x 2 is the radius
the length of the larger shapes base is 3 x the smaller shaped base (hence 3x)
lets say the length of the base is one (its ratio so any number would work)
to calculate the area of a circle it is pi x the radius squared
then you half it (x0.5) to get half the area of the circle because they are only half circles
y = 3x²x(0.5π)
---------------
x²x(0.5π)
if you substitute x for 1 then the answer is 9
The area of the larger semi circle is is (1/2)πr^2. The blue area is (1/6)πr^2. The green area is the area of the large semi circle subtracted by the blue area.
The green area is (1/2)πr^2 - (1/6)πr^2 = (1/3)πr^2. The green area is twice as large as the blue area
WRONG, lets say diameter of green semi circle is 3, and the diameter of each blue semi circle is 1, the total area of the larger green semi circle is (1/2)π(3)^2, or 4.5π, however to find the area of the green, you must subtract the three smaller blue semi circles, so you get 4.5π - 3*((1/2)π(.5)^2) which gets you 3*((1/2).25π), or .75π/2, or .375π, which is 4.5π-.375π which is equal to 4.125π. Now you compare 4.125π to .375π, and when you get 4.125π/.375π, you get 11.
@@howies2319 Both of you are using difficult numbers to make the calculation. Use r=1 for the smaller semicircles, then r=3 for the larger semicircle. Then it's obvious the blue area is 3*(1/2)*π*(1)^2 = 3π/2 = 1.5π. The larger semicircle has area (1/2)*π*(3)^2 = 9π/2 = 4.5π. Subtract the blue area to get the green area = 3π. So clearly the green area is twice as large as the blue area. VronZ is correct.
4:26 assume the diameter of green semicircle is 1. one blue semicircle has a radius of 1/3. pi*radius squared is the area of a circle so we do pi*1/6^2 which is pi/36 and because its a semicircle we divide it by 2 so pi/72. now the green semicircle will have the area of pi*1/2^2 so pi/4 and divide by 2 so pi/8. now we multiply pi/72 by 3 and get pi/24. divide pi/72 by pi/24 but to make it easier we inverse the pi/24 fraction and we get pi/72 * 24/pi. now we shorten this and get 3/1 * 1/1 so 3. so the ratio is 3/1 and the green semicircle is 3 times bigger
