Question

the diameter of one circle is represented by \\(12x\\). the diameter of another circle is represented by \\(6x^2y\\). what is the ratio of the radii of the two circles?

\\(\bigcirc 2:x^2y\\)
\\(\bigcirc 2:xy\\)
\\(\bigcirc x:2y\\)
\\(\bigcirc 2:xy\\)

<reasoning>

Express the radii of the two circles

\[

$$\begin{aligned} r_1 &= \frac{12x}{2} = 6x \\ r_2 &= \frac{6x^2y}{2} = 3x^2y \end{aligned}$$

\]

Calculate the ratio of the radii

\[
\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{6x}{3x^2y} = \frac{2}{xy}
\]

Express the ratio in colon notation

\[
2 : xy
\]
