Problem
A 3-4-5 right triangle is inscribed circle 
, and a 5-12-13 right triangle is inscribed in circle 
. What is the ratio of the area of circle to circle ?
Solution 1
Because the triangle are right triangles, we know the hypotenuses are diameters of circles and . Thus, their radii are 2.5 and 6.5 (respectively). Square the two numbers and multiply 
to get 
and 
as the areas of the circles. Multiply 4 on both numbers to get 
and 
. Lastly, divide, to get your answer:
$\boxed{\textbf{(D) \frac{25}{169}}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
