# Flowerbed

We enlarge the circular flower bed, so its radius increased by 3 m. The substrate consumption per enlarged flower bed was (at the same layer height as before magnification) nine times greater than before. Determine the original flowerbed radius.

Result

r1 =  1.5 m

#### Solution:

$r_{2}=r_{1} + 3 \ \\ S_{2}=9 \ S_{1} \ \\ \pi r_{2}^2=9 \ \pi r_{1}^2 \ \\ r_{2}^2=9 \ r_{1}^2 \ \\ r_{2}=3 \ r_{1} \ \\ \ \\ \ \\ r_{2}=r_{1} + 3 \ \\ r_{2}=3 \cdot \ r_{1} \ \\ \ \\ r_{1}-r_{2}=-3 \ \\ 3r_{1}-r_{2}=0 \ \\ \ \\ r_{1}=\dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }=1.5 \ \\ =\dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }=1.5 \ \text{m} \ \\ r_{2}=\dfrac{ 9 }{ 2 }=4.5 \ \\$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
