If the ratio of circumference of two circles is $4:9$, the ratio their area is:
The ratio of the areas of two circles is the square of the ratio of their circumferences. Since the ratio of circumferences is 4:9, the ratio of their areas is 4^2 : 9^2, which is 16:81.
The ratio of the circumferences of two circles equals the ratio of their radii, so r1 divided by r2 equals 4 divided by 9. The ratio of their areas equals the square of the ratio of their radii, according to the area formula pi times r squared. Squaring the fraction 4/9 gives a ratio of 16 to 81.
