Let the length of radius be 'r'.

From the above diagram,

$$x^2+r^2=6^2\ $$....(i)

$$\left(10-x\right)^2+r^2=8^2\ $$----(ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get: 

x=3.6 => $$r^2=36-\left(3.6\right)^2$$ ==> $$r^2=36-\left(3.6\right)^2\ =23.04$$.

Area of circle = $$\pi\ r^2=23.04\pi\ $$

Area of rhombus= 1/2*d1*d2=1/2*12*16=96.

.'. Ratio of areas = 23.04$$\pi\ $$/96=$$\frac{6\pi}{25}$$
