Answer

Let area of larger circle be r cm.

Radius of circle with diameter 7 cm = Diameter2=72\dfrac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \dfrac{7}{2} = 3.5 cm.

Given,

Area of larger circle is 16 times the area of the circle with diameter 7 cm.

⇒ πr2 = 16 x π x (3.5)2

⇒ r2 = 196

⇒ r = 196\sqrt{196} = 14 cm.

Circumference = 2πr = 2×227×142 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 14 = 88 cm.

Hence, circumference of circle = 88 cm.
