If the sum of the circumferences of two circles with radii $R_1$  and $R_2$ is equal to the circumference of a circle of radius $R$, then find the relationship between $R_1,\ R_2$ and $R$.


Given: Sum of the circumferences of two circles with radii $R_1$  and $R_2$ is equal to the circumference of a circle of radius $R$.

To do: To find the relationship between $R_1,\ R_2$ and $R$.

Solution:

The  circumference of circle with radius $R_1=2\pi R_1$

and the circumference of circle with radius $R_2=2\pi R_2$
$\therefore$ The Sum of Circumferences, Sum $=2\pi (R_1+R_2)$

Again the circumference of circle with radius $R=2\pi R$

$\therefore$ By given condition,

$2\pi (R_1+R_2)=2\pi R$

$\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=R$.
