So I'm confused. I saw this and initially thought it was just a matter of circumference. Suppose the radius of circle A is 10 and the radius of circle B is twice that amount, so it's 20
The formula to find the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr
So for circle A;
2π10 = 62.831
And for circle B;
2π20 = 125.663
Then to find the difference in circumferences, divide them
125.663/62.831 = 2.000
Therefore, it should take two rotations to rotate one circle around the other
What am I getting wrong here?
You could just watch the vid you know
