Let's let $0<a$ be the number units the radius must be increased. And so the change in area we can write as: \Delta A=\pi(r+a)^2-\pi r^2=b Now...

\overline{MK}=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2}a)^2+(\sqrt{2}b)^2}=\sqrt{2\left(a^2+b^2\right)}=\sqrt{2(50)}=\sqrt{100}=10 :D

At a guess you are forgetting about the cross term. (a + b)^2 \neq a^2 + b^2. It is (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2. You are going to end up having to...
