Question 3.2 · November 2024 · Paper 1 · National (DBE) · 4 marks
A circle with radius cm is drawn. A second, smaller circle is drawn through the centre of the first circle and also touches the first circle internally, as shown in the diagram. A third, smaller circle is drawn through the centre of the second circle and touches the second circle internally. The process of drawing circles continues and forms a geometric pattern.

3.2 Calculate the sum of the areas of the first 10 circles.(4)
