Concentric circles

There is given a Circle K with a radius r = 8 cm. How large must a radius have a smaller concentric circle that divides the circle K into two parts with the same area?

Correct answer:

r₂ =  5.6569 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} r=8\text{cm} \\ S=\pi \cdot r^2=3.1416\cdot 8^2\doteq 201.0619{\text{cm}}^2 \\ {S}_2=S/2=201.0619/2\doteq 100.531{\text{cm}}^2 \\ {S}_2=\pi \cdot r_2^2 \\ {r}_2=\sqrt{S_2/\pi }=\sqrt{100.531/3.1416}=4\sqrt{2}=5.6569\text{cm} \end{gathered}$$
