Circumference of 1st circle is given :   

    \\=\ 2\pi r_1\\\\=\ 2\pi \times 19\ =\ 38 \pi\ cm                                                             

And circumference of 2nd circle is :       =\ 2\pi \times 9\ =\ 18 \pi\ cm

Thus, the circumference of the new circle is   =\ 18\pi\ +\ 38\pi\ =\ 56\pi\ cm

or                      2\pi r =\ 56\pi

or                      r\ =\ 28\ cm

Hence, the radius of the new circle is 28 cm.
