Let's sketch the given information as follows:
Notice that the green line represents the radius of the circle.
Let's impose a right triangle on the diagram as follows:
Let r = the radius of the circle (i.e., the green line) Since we have a right triangle we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to write: \(1^2 + 3^2 = r^2\) Simplify: \(10 = r^2\) This means \(r = \sqrt{10}\)
Circumference of circle \(= 2 \pi r\)
Substitute to get: Circumference \(= 2 \pi (\sqrt{10})\)
We have: QUANTITY A: \(2 \pi (\sqrt{10})\) QUANTITY B: \(10\pi\)
To make things easier on ourselves, let's use matching operations (see the video below) and divide both quantities by \(2\pi\) to get: QUANTITY A: \(\sqrt{10}\) QUANTITY B: \(5\)
Since \(5 > \sqrt{10}\), the correct answer is B
