Problem

Two circular flower beds have radii

6\,\text{m}

and

8\,\text{m}

. They are to be replaced by a single circular bed whose area equals the sum of the two original beds. Taking

\pi = \dfrac{22}{7}

, find the radius of the new bed. a)

14\,\text{m}

9\,\text{m}

10\,\text{m}

7\,\text{m}
