The difference between the areas of two concentric circular tracks is 693π cm2693\pi\,\text{cm}^2, while the difference between their circumferences is 18π cm18\pi\,\text{cm}. (i) Form two equations in the radii RR (larger) and rr (smaller) of the tracks based on the given information. (ii) Solve the equations to find the exact values of RR and rr. (iii) Determine the ratio of the areas of the two tracks in its simplest form.
