Homework Statement
--SOLVED--
It seems, that you just apply the pythageos thereom to 'A' and 'B' =)---------------
Lets say I have a circle 'A' with radius 6cm, and a circle 'B' with radius 6cm. These two circles would have an area of 113.097cm^2. When both are combined they would have an area of 226.194cm^2.
Is there a way that you can calculate the new radius (or diameter) without having to get the area -> divide by PI -> take the square root? (which would equal 8.485cm^2 in this case)
Also, how would this problem be handled with 2 different inital radiuses? eg. Circle 'A' has radius 5cm, and circle 'B' has radius 11cm.
Thankyou
