Explanation:
The area of the circle whose radius is 8 cm is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the area is trisected by two concentric circles, the areas of the three circles are in the ratio 1:1:1.
Let the radii of the concentric circles be r1, r2, and r3 respectively.
We know that the area of a circle is directly proportional to the square of its radius.
Calculations:
- The area of the circle with radius r1 is πr1^2.
- The area of the circle with radius r2 is πr2^2.
- The area of the circle with radius r3 is πr3^2.
Since the areas are in the ratio 1:1:1, we have:
πr1^2 : πr2^2 : πr3^2 = 1 : 1 : 1
r1^2 : r2^2 : r3^2 = 1 : 1 : 1
Taking the square root of both sides:
r1 : r2 : r3 = 1 : 1 : 1
Since we need to find the ratio of the radii in ascending order, we simplify the ratio to:
r1 : r2 : r3 = 1 : 1 : 1
To express the ratio in terms of square roots, we have:
r1 : r2 : r3 = √1 : √1 : √1
r1 : r2 : r3 = √1 : √1 : √1
r1 : r2 : r3 = 1 : √1 : √1
r1 : r2 : r3 = 1 : √2 : √3
Therefore, the ratio of the radii of the concentric circles in ascending order is 1 : √2 : √3, which corresponds to option 'C'.
