Problem Statement

The ratio of the areas of two concentric circles is 1:3 1: 3. If the radius of the smaller is r r, then the difference between the radii is best approximated by: <spanclass=latexbold>(A)</span> 0.41r<spanclass=latexbold>(B)</span> 0.73<spanclass=latexbold>(C)</span> 0.75<spanclass=latexbold>(D)</span> 0.73r<spanclass=latexbold>(E)</span> 0.75r <span class='latex-bold'>(A)</span>\ 0.41r \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(B)</span>\ 0.73 \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(C)</span>\ 0.75 \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(D)</span>\ 0.73r \qquad <span class='latex-bold'>(E)</span>\ 0.75r
